Robust Yellow Popcorn kernels are a light-yellow to white color and the corn pops pure white. This is one of the most tender popcorn varieties as it is fiber-free and very tasty. This is a great garden crop to grow with children because they can experience the rewards at harvest. And who doesn't love fresh popcorn?

Robust Yellow Popcorn should be planted in the spring after the last frost date. Corn can be grown throughout the warmer months up until fall, as long as time is permitted for harvest before the first frost. Succession planting is recommended with at least two plantings, one in early spring and one in late summer/early fall. Corn earworm pressure will be greater in the warmer months, but this can be alleviated by applying to silks and tassels once they appear.

We recommend planting Robust Yellow Popcorn using a walk-behind planter like our . Once plants emerge, thin plants to 8-12" depending on adequate irrigation. If is used, in-row spacing may be as close as 8". If water is scarce, the wider in-row spacing will be necessary. For pollination purposes, corn should be planted in a square plot with rows on 30-36" spacing. Planting a few long rows will result in poor germination and the absence of kernels on the cobs.
