Strawberry Corn

This exquisite ancient corn variety grows 4-6 feet tall and produces beautiful petite cobs that resemble a strawberry. Strawberry Corn is a versatile drying corn that can be used for popping corn, or milled and ground for meal and flour. Plant kernels a week or two after last frost with at least 8-12 inches between; keep moist for optimal germination.

There are many interesting configurations for growing corn other than straight rows. I have taken to growing my corn in a traditional Three Sisters arrangement invented by the Haudenosaunee people. You can find plans for this concentric arrangement in the following article:
