Why Choose Collards Georgia Southern

• Harvest large, crinkled blue-green leaves with a tender texture when cooked.
• Grow a productive, non-heading variety that provides repeated leaf harvests.

Planting Tips for Success

• Plant in full sun to partial shade in fertile, well-drained soil.
• For a spring crop, start seeds indoors several weeks before the last frost or sow directly when the soil can be worked. For a fall crop, sow in midsummer so plants mature as temperatures cool.
• Cover seeds lightly and keep the seedbed evenly moist during germination.
• Space plants so broad leaves have room to develop and air can circulate around the foliage.
• Feed with compost or a balanced fertilizer during active growth. Steady fertility supports vigorous leaf production.
• Water regularly and mulch around plants to maintain even moisture and moderate soil temperature.
• Harvest outer leaves when they reach a useful size, leaving the growing center intact for continued production. Light frost can improve flavor.
