B. oleracea - The smoother flatter cousin of kale, and used in many of the same ways. Traditionally grown in the American south, collards are equally happy grown in more northern climates like Nova Scotia. Tolerant of hot weather, but also very cold hardy. They keep chugging along in our greenhouse all through the winter months. Although the name implies that it forms heads, I’ve only seen this one grow with open leaves, like kale. Approx. 250 seeds (1 g)

Growing Info
Sowing I like to sow mine indoors, from early spring onwards. Transplant out when 4-5 weeks old.
Timing Collards grow best on cool weather, yet also tolerate summer heat better than most greens do. Early spring and late summer/fall are the two best planting windows in my experience.
Spacing 6-12" between plants, 24"+ between rows
Soil Well amended, moist yet well draining is ideal
Light Full sun to part shade
Life cycle Biennial
Cold hardiness Our varieties (usually) overwinter for us here in zone 6. I'm sure they could go colder with mulch and/or snow cover.
