Vates Collard Greens. Collard is a non-heading type of cabbage. These leafy plants produce wide, blue-green leaves that are quite tender and have a delicious, mild cabbage-like flavour. It is best to sow this variety in late May. In warm, long summer areas, a late crop can also be sown. The ‘Vates’ variety was developed in the 1950’s.

How to Grow
Sow seed directly outdoors in a sunny site 6-10mm (1/4-1/2in) deep and 2.5cm (1in) apart about 3 weeks before your last frost date. Space in rows about 60cm (24in) apart. Thin sprouts to 30cm (12in) apart in the garden. To get a jump on the season seed can be started 6-8 weeks early indoors then harden off and transplant out seedlings about 2 weeks before your typical last frost date. Start harvesting the outside leaves when plants are about 30cm (12in) high.| SKU | Inventory |
