Discover the exceptional qualities of Brassica oleracea 'Vates', renowned for its large, blue-green leaves and remarkable resistance to bolting. Ideal for gardeners in the South and Mid-Atlantic, Vates Collards thrive in both spring and fall, showcasing impressive frost and disease resistance. These non-heading collards form a bushy plant with individual leaves, offering a high-yield, reliable source of greens that mature in just 68 days. The robust, slow-bolting plants are a cinch to grow, even for novices. Enjoy the sweeter, tender flavor that develops post-frost, perfect for traditional slow-cooked dishes like collard greens with ham hocks or bacon, as well as soups, stir-fries, and salads. To optimize growth, plant Vates Collards 18-24 inches apart in well-draining, fertile soil, ensuring regular watering for lush development. Whether harvesting by picking individual leaves or cutting the whole plant, embrace the bountiful, high-quality greens that Vates Collards bring to your garden.
