| This little popcorn was surprisingly great! In order to make good popcorn from this plant you have to leave the cobs on the stalk until the kernels turn bright red and and pretty dry. There are websites that give the how to's on popcorn, I suggest looking into one if your wanting to grow your own popcorn. Once popped this variety is pure white, had very thin and crispy hulls with great flavor and the novelty of the miniature popcorn can't be beat, being about 1/4 the size of normal popped corn . The only down side is the small size of the cobs, probably need more than six to make a decent little bowl. |

| My son grew this for fun. It was easy to grow, hardy and had good yeild. The popcorn itself is small and has little taste, but the ears are very pretty, so we used them to make wreaths for Autumn/Thanksgiving decorations. The kernals held well on the cob, and we will grow this variety again for craft use. Nice little popcorn, but don't plant it to eat. |
