Growing Information
Growing Vates Heirloom Collard
‘Vates’ is a dependable heirloom collard valued for its adaptability, upright growth, and generous yields of smooth, medium-green leaves. The tender leaves have a mild, earthy flavor and are a classic choice for Southern-style cooking. Its upright habit also makes harvesting easy and helps keep the foliage clean and accessible.
Sow ‘Vates’ directly in the garden about ½ inch deep. Space plants 12 to 18 inches apart in rows 18 to 36 inches apart and grow in full sun. This cold-tolerant variety performs especially well in cool-season gardens.
Ready to harvest in about 75 days, pick leaves at your preferred size, choosing younger growth for the most tender texture.
Mild, hearty, and versatile, ‘Vates’ is excellent for braising, sautéing, soups, stews, and everyday cooking.
