Collard Seeds - Champion

Brassica oleracea ORGANIC. This Vates-type collard with dark blue-green foliage was selected for increased bolt resistance, giving you a longer harvest window in summer. It’s still very winter-hardy too! This tried and true favorite was developed by the Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station and introduced in 1979. For a spring crop, Champion collards can be started indoors up to 10 weeks before the final frost date and transplanted out 4-6 weeks before the last frost, or direct-seeded in the garden 4 weeks before the last frost. For a fall harvest, direct-seed in mid- to late summer. Full-sized leaves will be ready to harvest in about 60 days from seeding. 1.75 gram packet contains a minimum of 250 seeds.
