Grow a dependable, space-efficient Southern favorite with Vates Collards, a classic heirloom collard green valued for its compact growth habit, dark blue-green leaves, and excellent cold tolerance. Vates is slower to bolt than many varieties, making it ideal for extended harvests and fall gardens.
Leaves are tender and flavorful, becoming sweeter after light frost, and are perfect for traditional Southern cooking, sautéing, braising, soups, and freezing. Thanks to its smaller plant size, Vates Collards are well suited for home gardens, raised beds, and dense plantings.
You will receive:
✔️ 300 fresh, viable seeds
✔️ Open-pollinated, non-GMO
