Growing Tips
Mini Pink popcorn grows best in well-drained, fertile soil enriched with compost or well-rotted manure. The planting site should receive at least six to eight hours of full sunlight each day. Ensure the soil is loamy and well-draining with a pH between 5.5 and 7.5. Succession planting prolongs harvest.
When to Grow
Plant Mini Pink popcorn seeds when soil temperatures reach about 60 degrees F, after all danger of frost is past.. This variety is suitable for USDA zones 4 and above. It's best to refer to local frost dates to align your planting schedule appropriately.
How to Sow and Plant
Direct sow Mini Pink popcorn seeds 1-2 inches deep. Space the plants about 12 inches apart in rows spaced 36 inches apart. Planting in blocks of four or five rows enhances pollination. Germination typically occurs within 7-10 days. To avoid cross-pollination issues, do not plant near other corn varieties. Succession planting prolongs harvest.
How to Grow
Maintain consistent soil moisture, especially during key growth stages like tasseling and ear development. Provide 1.5 to 2 inches of water per week from rainfall or irrigation. Fertilize with a balanced 10-10-10 NPK fertilizer every two to three weeks before the silks emerge, and once more when the silks appear. Regularly cultivate the soil to eliminate weeds, taking care not to damage the roots. Hill the soil around the plants when they are about knee-high to provide support and nutrients.
How to Save
- Corn is wind pollinated and will easily cross with other varieties (including GMO corn!). You will need at least 1 mile of isolation to avoid cross pollination. You can also use staggered timing or caging techniques.
- Hand pick ears when fully dried on stalk. Seeds keep best if left on the ear; just remove at planting time.
- Sweet corn seeds will remain viable for 2 years; dent corn will last up to 5 years when properly stored.
