Georgia Southern has anchored Southern pots since the 1880s—broad, blue‑green leaves with a mild, cabbage‑sweet flavor that only deepens after a frost. Collards are rich in vitamins A, C, and K and long valued as a mineral‑dense staple. Plants are heat‑tolerant and cold‑hardy, so you can harvest nearly year‑round by cutting the lower leaves and letting the crown keep producing. Slow cook with smoked meat, roll leaves for wraps, or shred into soups. Direct sow or transplant; just keep moisture steady and feed lightly for continuous growth. A true standby when you want dependable greens in every season.

How to Grow

For spring planting, direct sow seeds in garden in early spring or start transplants 4-6 weeks before transplanting into the garden. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 60-75 degrees. For fall planting, direct sow seeds in garden about 8-12 weeks before average first frost date. Collards are one of the most heat and cold tolerant cole crops. You can harvest until the heat of summer or cold of winter stops production.
