Collard Seeds

Collards are a Southern staple that grows just as well up North. The big, smooth leaves stand up to long, slow braising with ham hocks, and they get sweeter after a frost. Collards handle summer heat better than most brassicas, too. We carry three hybrids: Flash, Top Bunch 2.0, and Cash Crop, all quick and productive. Harvest the lower leaves as they size up and let the plant keep growing from the top, and you can pick for months. Direct sow or transplant in spring, and plant again in midsummer for fall and winter greens.
