They are well-regarded for their mild, cabbage-like flavor that improves with light frost. These collards grow best in full sun but can tolerate partial shade. They prefer fertile, well-drained soil with a pH of 6.0 to 7.5 and benefit from the addition of compost or organic matter to boost soil fertility.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59511135797534,"sku":"OG109","price":3.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/2280\/5022\/files\/collards_georgia_southern_creole.jpg?v=1782396494"},{"product_id":"yellow-cabbage-collards","title":"Collard Seeds, Yellow Cabbage","description":"A rare gem, these scarce seeds are highly coveted and have been passed down for many generations in the Carolinas, where this tender collard green reigns supreme. Yellow Cabbage collards were first cultivated by Colonel Joe Branner in his Asheville, North Carolina, greenhouse in 1887, where he noticed his collard greens were much more tender and less bitter than other collards he had tasted. With thinner leaves and a more mellow flavor, this non-heading variety is more reminiscent of spinach but with the impressive heat and humidity tolerance of collard greens. Grows to about 2 feet tall and wide and matures in about 45 days.","brand":"Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59511160602910,"sku":"OG129","price":3.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/2280\/5022\/files\/Yellow_Cabbage_Collards.jpg?v=1782397651"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/2280\/5022\/collections\/Collards_Georgia_Southern_Creole_OG109_LSS_DSC_5095.jpg?v=1783528125","url":"https:\/\/www.rareseeds.com\/collections\/collard-seeds.oembed","provider":"RareSeeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
