Think collard greens are just for New Year's Day? Think again! You'll enjoy lots of luck when you grow Bonnie Plants Morris Heading Heirloom Collards, because they're not only nutritious-- they taste delicious, too. A perfect addition to fall and spring veggie gardens, this open-pollinated variety of collards produces broad, waxy leaves that range from green to blue-green in color. Plants often form loose, leafy heads late in the growing season. This old southern favorite tastes great braised, stirred into soup, chopped in a casserole, sauteed with eggs, shredded into slaw, used as a wrap, or even pureed into pesto. Collards prefer cool weather and tolerate frost. Younger leaves taste best, and frost-kissed collards boast sweeter flavor. Plant collards in full sun 18 to 24 inches apart. Plant reaches 24 inches tall and matures in 45 days. Be sure to water your plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, and feed it regularly with Miracle-Gro Plant Food. Use floating row covers to protect collards from pests, like cabbage loopers. Bonnie Plants live plant varieties are designed for your gardening success, whether they're disease resistant, heat tolerant, space savers, or produce abundant harvests.
