| The 'Georgia' Collard Plant is a traditional Southern variety. Non heading, rapid growth rate. Plants get 60-90 cm (2-3ft) tall spreading out with large wavy blue-green leaves. A favourite leaf to quick-cook like spinach. Both heat and cold tolerant and is also slow to bolt, so it is suited for just about any climate. A light frost will actually improve its flavour. It does well in poor soil. Plant Georgia Collards seeds directly in the garden by making a shallow 12 mm (½”) furrow and scattering the seeds. Cover seeds about 6 mm (¼"). Keep moist until germination which usually takes 6 - 12 days. Cooler weather slows germination time. Thin plants at least 45 cm (1½ft) apart. 75 Days to maturity. Collards are fibrous, tough, mild-flavoured greens that require long cooking. Excellent source of beta carotene and some vitamin C and calcium. 25 seeds |
