The seed can be planted in early spring when the soil warms. Plant the seeds 1/2-3/4 inch deep and about 4-5 inches apart. Plant several short rows for better pollination. Crowding the plants of this variety tends to keep the ear size small. Seeds should germinate in 7-10 days. Ears are mature when the husks turn light brown in the fall. The ears should be air dried for several weeks before using. This mini-blue popcorn has a maturity of 100-110 days. It is POPcorn so it can be popped for eating! The small dry ears can be used in dried arrangements, fall decorations, bird feeders, wreaths, and crafts. The colonial blue color of the ears makes them popular for “country decorating”
