Planting Instructions

Planting Season

  • Spring/Early Summer: Plant after the last frost, once the soil has warmed to about 60°F (15°C).

Planting Details

  • Depth: Plant seeds 1-1.5 inches deep.
  • Spacing: Space seeds 8-10 inches apart in rows 24-36 inches apart.
  • Light: Requires full sun for the best growth and kernel development.
  • Soil: Prefers well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0-6.8.

Watering and Care

  • Watering: Keep soil consistently moist, especially during the silking and ear filling stages.
  • Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer at planting and side-dress when the plants are 12 inches tall.
  • Pollination: Popcorn benefits from planting in blocks rather than rows for better pollination.
  • Pest Management: Watch for pests like corn earworms or beetles and treat with organic methods if needed.

Harvesting

  • Maturity Time: Typically reaches full maturity in 90-100 days.
  • Harvest Method: Harvest when kernels are hard and the husks turn brown. You can test by biting into a kernel (it should be firm and not soft).

Uses

  • Popping: Popcorn kernels turn fluffy and light with a rich, nutty flavor.
  • Decorative Uses: The striking color makes Dakota Black Popcorn perfect for ornamental purposes as well.
