HOW TO GROW COLLARDS
Start indoors 4-6 weeks before last frost, plant out 3 weeks before frost. For fall harvest, transplant 13 weeks before first frost, without additional protection. In a hoophouse, you can plant 2-3 weeks later. Harvest from the bottom of the stem up. Will over winter in most areas. Collards are most tender and delicious after frost. Waxy leaf surface reduces cabbage worms, row cover at transplant if needed. Harvest leaves from the bottom up, cool quickly, dunk in cold water to wash, store at 32˚F. Soil pH 5.0-8.5. Hardiness zones 7. Biennial.

Milder and more tender than most collards, this yellow-tinted leaves form a loose head. It’s a North Carolina heirloom, seed stock from Benny and Vickie Cox, owners of the Collard Shack in Ayden, NC. These are fairly unknown outside the Carolinas. Usually they are heavily guarded family heirlooms, passed down for more than 100 years in the same family. The Yellow Cabbage collard is usually referred to as Cabbage Collard, but also known as Carolina Cabbage collards. Tags: Color: Green, Heritage: Heirloom, Season: Summer, Seed: Safe Seed Pledge.
