DESCRIPTION
Collard Greens - Champion - Brassica oleracea var. acephala
Biennial Heirloom. Collards tolerate more heat and frost than any other member of the cabbage family. Champion collards are a trusty, widely adapted variety. The dark green leaves a have a delicious cabbage flavor. This is a great variety for over-wintering and holds up to two weeks longer than many other collards. The leaves have a waxy coating that is a natural protection from cabbage worms.
Did You Know? The name collards is a corruption of the Anglo-Saxon word "coleworts" which means "cabbage plants".
