Ornamental Corn - Strawberry Corn - Striking colour and decorative appeal - Fresh Seeds

Ornamental corn Strawberry Corn is a standout annual grown for its unusual, decorative cobs. The small, rounded ears are filled with glossy, intense red kernels that can resemble ripe strawberries, making the plant an eye catching feature in the garden. Once dried, the cobs are ideal for home decoration, bouquets, and seasonal arrangements, keeping their strong colour and natural charm for a long time.

Sowing depth

Sow ornamental corn Strawberry Corn seeds 3 to 4 cm deep. This depth supports quick, even germination. For best results, use warm soil that is lightly moist, and the first seedlings should appear after a few days.

Sowing time outdoors

Sow directly outdoors from May to June, once the risk of frost has passed and the soil has warmed.

Spacing

Keep a spacing of 50 x 15 cm. This gives the plants room to develop strong stems and healthy leaves, improves airflow, and helps reduce the risk of disease, which supports better cob quality and deeper kernel colour.

Harvest time

Harvest from September to October, when the cobs are fully mature and reach a deep crimson shade. This is when the plant looks its best and just a few cobs can create an original decoration for a table, patio, or seasonal wreath. After drying, they keep their colour well and remain decorative for a long time.

Growing

Sow ornamental corn Strawberry Corn directly outdoors in May, once the risk of frost has passed. It grows best in a sunny spot, in fertile, free draining soil that stays moderately moist. It prefers slightly alkaline soil that is rich in calcium. Despite its unusual look, it is not demanding and can be grown with ease. Regular watering early on helps strong rooting, and after that it is mainly a matter of watching the decorative cobs develop. It is a good choice for beginners, offering a striking result with minimal effort.
