“Black Heirloom Popping Corn”

Thrills for the kiddies! Beautiful black (or almost black) kernels turn into extremely flavorful WHITE POPCORN (presto!) with little black centers. To 5-7’ tall, let the 4-8” ears dry on the stalks before harvesting. All you need is a sunny little spot to provide the youngins a totally “homegrown popcorn” experience. Or grow them for yourself for neat-o Halloween or Samhain decorations! Rich soil is best.
