Red Strawberry Popcorn is an heirloom corn variety native to Mexico and named for its unique, strawberry-shaped ears.
4 foot high stalks produce 2 to 4 ears of corn that grow to around 2 to 3 inches in length and produce kernels that are a deep, rich red in color.
Great for popping or, given its stunning appearance, for use as an ornamental in autumn décor and arrangements.
