it does not matter whether you mixed them up or not if they are compatible they will pollinate each other if not then they will self pollinate which is quite normal and natural, they are wind pollinated.

Thanks guys.......one other thing is I've grown sweet corn last yr so I know what it looks like........but I've never grown popcorn before. so far i have a couple of lines of popcorn on the go .both the popcorn & the sweetcorn look the same .......will I be able to tell them apart once they mature?
