Growing popcorn is just as easy as regular sweetcorn and can essentially be treated in the exact same way. The only key difference between them is that popcorn requires a slightly longer growing season to allow its kernels to fully ripen, unlike sweetcorn which is harvested when its ears are still immature. Origin: South America - Latin name: Zea mays. Sow: April-May. Harvest: August-November.
Growing Information
Full growing instructions given on packet. Sow your seeds March/April time in little fibre or paper pots filled with compost and leave on a sunny windowsill to germinate. In May/June your little seedlings will be ready to plant out in a sheltered, sunny spot in rich, well-drained soil. They can be planted outside in their growing pots as this greatly reduces the risk of root disturbance to which corn is very sensitive. Instead of planting these in single-file rows, you should set them out in a block-like grid, at least 3 rows deep with about 45cm (18") between plants. As your popcorn grows, mulch them with a nice thick layer of organic matter, which can be mounded up around their roots to give these tall plants an extra bit of stability from high winds. Keep them well-watered in dry weather, particularly when the plants are flowering (i.e. when little tassles of silk appear half-way down the stem).
