Planting & Care

Sow Georgia Southern collard seeds directly in the garden about 1/4 inch deep, 2-3 weeks before the last frost in spring, or in late summer for a fall crop. Keep the soil evenly moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7-14 days. Thin seedlings to the recommended spacing to allow for healthy growth.

Collards benefit from regular watering and a side dressing of compost or balanced fertilizer. Mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Harvest outer leaves when they reach desired size, leaving the central rosette to continue producing. With proper care, you can enjoy multiple harvests throughout the season.
