Corn Popcorn Mushroom F1 Hybrid - 55820

Mushroom popcorn kernels produce firm, round pieces of popcorn with a bit of chewiness. It is denser and more compact than butterfly corn and because it doesn’t have the “wings” like the butterfly type it holds up well in the stirring and coating process. Make your own delicious caramel corn, yum! Popcorn is becoming increasingly popular, now you can grow your own! Just grow as you would a normal sweet corn, except leave the cobs to dry on the plant. Popcorn is a heavy feeder and needs plenty of nitrogen. Your Popcorn will be ready to harvest when the husks have dried and the kernels are plump, well-coloured and shiny. Remove the husks and dry the cobs fully in a cool, well ventilated place for at least a month. Your kernels will not pop if they are too moist. Test if they are ready by attempting to pop several kernels, if they don't pop, or if the popped corn is chewy, try again after several more days of drying. When cobs are fully dry, harvest them by rubbing seeds off the cob via a twisting action with your hands. Store in an air-tight container (you can pop your container in the fridge) until you are ready to pop them. If stored well they should retain their popping quality for several years!

However, the sheer power and magnificence of these plants far outweighs the cost, so we are offering four colours and two mixes. Amazing flower power. Don't be shy, give these amazing plants a go, we are sure you won't be disappointed. Pink Cosmo is medium pink with deeper pink veins that are more prominent in cooler and lower light conditions. In a hanging basket or mixed planter Easy Wave will beat any 'normal' petunia hands down!
