Planting
Adaptable across and range of climates
Although seldom grown in Northern Europe, popcorn can perform very successfully across most of the continent. 'Robust' is the best variety for adaptability across a range of climates and has bright yellow-orange kernels. It must be dried for 3 to 4 weeks before cooking but otherwise easy and fun to prepare. Popcorn should be kept away from sweetcorn to avoid cross-pollination.
