Collard Greens Seeds

Collards are a vitamin-rich, cool-weather vegetable with a flavor similar to kale, but somewhat milder. A common side dish, especially in the South, collards are easy to grow and wonderfully tolerant of heat and cold; in fact, their flavor is sweetened by a little frost.

Collard Greens - A Southern Garden Staple

Collard Greens have been a cherished part of Southern cuisine for generations, and now, with Park Seed’s exceptional seeds, you can bring this hearty, nutritious green to your home garden. Known for their robust flavor and tender leaves, collards thrive in both cool and warm weather, making them a versatile choice for year-round gardening.

Key Features of Collard Green Seeds

  • Non-GMO and High Germination Rate: Every seed is carefully selected and tested to ensure vigorous growth and abundant yields.
  • Cold and Heat Tolerant: Thrives in both cool spring weather and can withstand the heat of summer, making it an excellent choice for multi-season gardening.
  • Nutrient Powerhouse: Rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as fiber and antioxidants, these greens are a nutritious addition to your garden and table.
  • Delicious, Tender Leaves: Enjoy fresh from the garden in salads, sautéed, or stewed for a classic Southern dish.
  • Frost-Enhanced Sweetness: Collards develop a richer, sweeter flavor after a light frost, making them a perfect fall crop.

How to Care for Your Collard Green Seeds

  • Sunlight: Collard greens love the sun. Make sure they receive at least 6 hours of full sunlight each day for optimal growth and robust leaves.
  • Soil: Plant in well-drained, fertile soil enriched with organic matter. Collards prefer slightly acidic to neutral soil with a pH of 6.0 to 7.5. If you're unsure, a soil test will help you fine-tune the conditions for the best results.
  • Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply, about 1 to 1.5 inches per week, to encourage strong root development. Mulching around the plants helps retain moisture and suppresses weeds.
  • Pest Management: Keep an eye out for common pests like cabbage worms or aphids. A regular inspection of your plants and applying organic pest control methods, such as neem oil or row covers, will help protect your crop.
  • Frost Tolerance: Collards are cold-hardy and can tolerate light frosts, which often improve the flavor. If you're growing in late fall, a frost may sweeten the leaves, making them even more delicious.
