Brassica oleracea Collards are a non-heading cabbage, sort of a warm weather version of kale, intended for use in seasons when kale just doesn’t get cold enough to be good eatin’. GTF begins sowing collards with the earliest plantings, then switches over to kale sowing after mid-July. Collards are grown throughout winter in the South. Very high in minerals, vitamins, and phytonutrients. Overwintered plants bolt to make the sweetest of all “colewort shoots”—long tender stems tipped with little “broc-buds.” Seeds Per Packet: 500 Seeds Per Ounce: 7,000
