The creamy white popcorn variety with the largest kernels and the longest cobs. The individual popcorn flakes are correspondingly large. A tip for harvesting: The kernels come off the cob easily if you always rub two cobs together.

Growing tips

Corn can be sown directly into the bed or grown as seedlings in pots. It is very sensitive to frost, i.e. it can only be sown or planted in the bed after the Ice Saints. Corn also loves sun and warmth, so look for a sunny spot in the garden. It is pollinated by the wind, which means you should cultivate several plants next to each other to guarantee optimal pollination. By mounding up soil around the stems, you increase the stability of the plants. This allows them to develop supporting roots with which they can hold on.
