Are Georgia Southern collards heat tolerant?
Yes. This classic Southern variety handles summer heat far better than most greens and also stands up to light frost, giving a long harvest.
When and how do I plant collard seeds?
Sow directly or start indoors, about a quarter to half an inch deep. They germinate quickly, in about 5 to 10 days, and grow in spring and fall.
How much sun and space do collards need?
Grow them in full sun, and space plants about 12 to 18 inches apart to give the large leaves plenty of room.
How do I harvest collards?
Pick the outer leaves from the bottom up, leaving the central growing point, so a single plant keeps producing over a long season.
Does frost improve collards?
Yes. A fall frost sweetens the flavor, and the plants often keep going for many months.
How do I cook collards?
Braise them slowly in the Southern style, add them to soups and stews, saute the younger leaves, or use the big leaves as wraps.
