Georgia Southern is an open pollinated collard grown for its tender, tasty leaves.
Heat and cold tolerant, and does well under adverse conditions or in poor and sandy soil.
Plant grows to about 3 feet in height. Leaves are large, upright, and blue-green in color.
Direct sow. For smaller plants, plant a few seeds every 12 inches and 1/4 inch deep; later, remove all but the strongest plant. For larger plants, plant seeds about 2 feet apart.
80 days to maturity. Begin harvesting leaves when plant is about 10 to 12 inches high.
Try tossing the cleaned, chopped leaves into a pressure cooker with water, ham or bacon, and diced rutabaga. Pressure for fifteen minutes, serve with a batch of granny's cornbread, and enjoy!
