Description
Strawberry corn is a variety that is particularly in demand again among gourmet chefs and lovers of rare vegetables. Very decorative, about 120 cm/47.2 in high, with dense, dark red kernels and small, round cobs of about 5 cm/2 in - also suitable for popcorn. The corn is suitable for grilling or as popcorn corn when milk ripe. The oval-round cobs with dense, dark red kernels are not only interesting from a culinary point of view - floriculture and dry bindery also know how to use this extremely attractive vegetable. The shape and color of the berry-like cobs is unusually beautiful. (From Biogartenbedarf). Germination after 10-14 days at 14-18°C/57-64°F.
Non hybrid
Growing tips
Grow in blocks. If necessary, cover with early-season fleece; in cooler regions, bring forward from March/April. Strawberry corn grows up to 1.80 m/2 yd tall and develops several fruiting side shoots. Do not waterlog; ensure adequate watering during flowering. (From Biogartenbedarf).
