(Tom Thumb, Australian Hulless, Dwarf Baby Rice) 85 days A very old variety of pop corn that has not lost its appeal to home gardeners. Plant produces incredible yields of white corn. It is quite dwarf in habit, plants reaching only about five feet in height.   Each plant produces two to three ears per stalk.   The ears are short and thick, about four inches in length and two inches in diameter.   Kernels are arranged irregularly on cob and are unusually tender, sweet, and pure white when popped. This is a great open pollinated variety suitable for making white popcorn. A tender, flavorful popcorn with an excellent nutty flavor. Great for school projects. Plant Height: 5 ft tall.  Planting Depth: 1" Soil temperature for Germination: 65-85°F Days to Germination: 4-12 Plant spacing: 10"-12" Full sun Moderate water Go to table of corn varieties
