500 Seeds Champion Collard Greens Vegetable Garden

Champion collard greens are a dependable, cool-season leafy green grown for their broad, tender leaves and mild, slightly sweet cabbage-like flavor. A favorite among home gardeners, this variety forms sturdy upright plants that hold up well through light frost, making them a rewarding choice for extended harvests in fall and winter gardens.

Use Champion collard greens in the kitchen steamed, sauteed, braised, or added to soups and stews, where the leaves keep their texture and rich flavor. The plants grow in a hardy upright habit and can be harvested leaf by leaf for a continuous supply or cut whole as a full head. A classic choice for traditional Southern cooking and everyday vegetable gardens alike, they perform well in beds, raised planters, and containers.
