Champion Collards (Brassica oleracea) are a robust, heirloom collard variety known for their vigorous growth, high yields, and superior taste. Producing large, slightly crinkled, deep-green leaves on sturdy, upright stems, Champion is especially prized by gardeners for its dependable performance throughout cool-weather seasons. With their mild yet hearty, cabbage-like flavor—which sweetens beautifully after exposure to frost—these nutrient-rich greens are a flavorful addition to any garden or kitchen.

Growing Instructions

Sow Champion Collard seeds directly into fertile, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Provide consistent moisture, but avoid waterlogged conditions. Champion Collards perform best in cooler weather, and their flavor notably improves with frost exposure, making them ideal for fall and winter gardening. Harvest leaves individually from the outside to encourage continuous growth and a prolonged harvest season.
