Georgia Southern Heirloom Collard
Growing Georgia Southern Heirloom Collard
‘Georgia Southern’ is a dependable heirloom collard known for its generous harvests, classic blue-green leaves, and excellent adaptability. Plants form open, loose clusters of broad, slightly crumpled leaves with a tender texture and rich flavor. This hardy variety tolerates both temperature extremes and less-than-ideal soils, including sandy conditions, making it a reliable choice for a wide range of gardens.
Sow ‘Georgia Southern’ directly in the garden about ¼ inch deep. Space plants 24 to 36 inches apart and grow in full sun. This cold-tolerant variety performs especially well in cool weather.
Ready to harvest in about 77 days, pick leaves at your preferred size, choosing younger growth for the most tender texture. A light frost can make the leaves even sweeter and more flavorful.
Tender, hearty, and full of classic collard flavor, ‘Georgia Southern’ is excellent for braising, sautéing, soups, and everyday cooking.
