Growing Instructions

Direct-sow Morris Heading Collard seeds into fertile, well-draining soil rich in organic matter. Provide consistent moisture, ensuring soil stays moist without becoming waterlogged. These collards excel in cooler weather and produce their best flavor after experiencing frost, making them perfect for late-season gardening. Harvest leaves from the outer edges first, encouraging continuous growth and an extended harvest season.
