Old Timey Blue Collard Seed

150 seeds. Old Timey Blue Collard is an heirloom collard variety that was originally sent to us by a grower in Texas. These collards have a purple vein and blue-green leaves, which is where they get their name. The leaves grow abundantly on the plants and can get as large as 2' tall.

Collards are generally cold-tolerant, but this Old Timey Blue Collard variety is reported to be heat-tolerant as well. Plant these in the fall or late winter and enjoy repeated harvests for many months. The leaves can be cooked in a pot like traditional collards with neck bone, ham hock, or your meat of choice. This variety is also especially tasty when sliced thin and used as a salad green.
