Description

Charming and unmistakable, Red Strawberry Popcorn (Zea mays) reveals itself as one of the most delightful heirlooms in the popcorn world, its compact ruby ears shaped like plump woodland strawberries. Each plant lifts small clusters of jewel toned cobs above its foliage, the kernels rich and glossy, catching sunlight with a warm, garnet glow. When dried, they pop into bright white, tender flakes, their flavor mild, clean, and pleasantly old fashioned.

Descended from time honored maize traditions cultivated across the Americas, this fully domesticated variety thrives in full sun and warm, fertile soil. Reaching 4 to 5 feet in height, it matures with reliable steadiness through the long summer, its husks drying to a whispering papery gold as the season wanes. Though charming enough for decorative harvest displays, it remains a true popcorn at heart—dependable, sturdy, and generous.

Long favored by gardeners for its ornamental beauty and practical use, Red Strawberry Popcorn bridges craftsmanship and cultivation. Its diminutive ears dry perfectly for autumn décor or seed arrangements, while its kernels offer a wholesome bowl of home-popped comfort. Humble yet striking, it stands as one of maize’s sweetest, most enduring expressions—simple, vibrant, and steadfast.
