Corn- Zea Mays

Chinese Mini Sow after frosts. A short variety of strawberry popping corn. Plants reach 1.5m and tend to be multiple stemmed. Each plant produces approximately 15 cobs. These can be harvested when premature (when stalks pink) and eaten as chinese mini corn. If let mature, the small red kernels may be used as popcorn. If saving seed, cull any over-sized plants.

Since 1989, Drylands Permaculture Nursery in WA have sourced and acclimatised heirloom seed varieties to suit our semi-arid climate, and our prefernce for tasty nutritious food.

These seeds are grown in chemical-free food gardens and rarely found on supermarket shelves. They are all open pollinated.
