Beautiful foliage when used at the back of your flower border. At summer's end, harvest the kernels for popcorn. Kids will love to watch the ruby red kernels magically turn white when popped! You may want to save a few of these charming ears, as well as the dried stalks, for fall decor. The stalks are a nice backdrop to displays of pumpkins, gourds, and dried cobs.\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product__primary-left\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"left-side-blocks for-desktop\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-blocks\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product__description product__block product__block--medium\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rte non-page-rte rte--product ff-body fs-body-100\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVariety Info\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"variety\" data-tab-content=\"\" class=\"active\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDays to Maturity: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e100–105\u003c\/span\u003e days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFamily: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003ePoaceae\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNative: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eAmericas\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardiness: Frost Sensitive\n\u003cdiv class=\"lg:col-span-5 lg:col-start-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"shopify-block-AY2dDMVVRK0hVOVJ1Z__product-plant-types\" class=\"shopify-block\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExposure: Full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlant Dimensions: Tall (Greater than 24\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariety Info: 2\"-3\" long strawberry-shaped ears with dark ruby-red kernels.

The kernels are ready for harvest when they are hard and you can no longer leave a mark on them with your fingernail. Before the first fall frost, give each ear a twist until it breaks off. Peel back the husks, then hang the ears in a cool, dark, dry place for 4 to 6 weeks to cure. This is important to prevent mold and to dry to the optimal moisture percentage for popping. (In a perfect popcorn world, that would be 13½–14%.) After that, the cobs are ready for popping or storing. To strip off cured kernels, twist the cobs back and forth to loosen them (gloves are recommended).\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"learn\" data-tab-content=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"growing\" data-tab-content=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"sowing\" data-tab-content=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Botanical Interests","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46562352398502,"sku":"0068","price":3.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0474\/3325\/3030\/files\/Product_58_139e3b86-4c80-475a-b53a-852ea6cb1a14.png?v=1793655423","url":"https:\/\/www.pittsborofeed.com\/products\/corn-popcorn-strawberry","provider":"Pittsboro Feed","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
