While full sun is ideal, Georgia Southern Collards will tolerate partial shade. Estimated grow time is between 40 and 65 days.
Your Georgia Southern Collards will be ready for harvest when their foliage reaches between 6 and 8 inches long, approximately 40 to 65 days post-sowing.
Harvest just the lower leaves or the entire plant before the leaves become tough. The flavor of collards is best after a light frost.
Georgia Southern Collards are a time-tested variety, having been cultivated and loved in the American South since around 1880.
