Survival Garden Seeds offers quality popcorn seeds for planting, known for their excellent popping and robust flavors. Our non-GMO seeds are selected for their high germination and ability to produce bountiful crops.
Popcorn is distinguished from other corn varieties by its hard outer shell. It also has a dense, starchy interior which allows it to pop when heated. Cultivated by many Native American tribes for thousands of years, this crop has spread everywhere and is a favored snack worldwide. Popcorn grows well in USDA hardiness zones 4 to 13 and needs a warm growing season and loads of sun to mature fully.
Sow popcorn plant seeds directly in the garden spot. Wait until the danger of frost has passed and the soil is warmed up, usually in late spring. Plant seeds 1 inch deep, spacing them apart 9 to 12 inches. Distance in rows should be 2 to 3 feet. Popcorn requires similar conditions as sweet corn. If you are planting both varieties, plant them separately as they are wind-pollinated. Cross-pollination may happen, which affects the quality of the kernels.
Popcorn plants need consistent watering, especially during germination and the kernels’ development. They are heavy feeders, so keep in mind to provide fertile soil, adding matured manure or compost when planting. Like other varieties of corn, popcorn is susceptible to pests (corn earworm). Diseases such as smut can occur as well, so regular monitoring is important. Harvest the ears after the husks have dried and the kernels have hardened. This is typically in late summer or early fall.
