Botanical Interests® Collards Top Bunch 2.0 - 50mg
As another great way to get your greens in, collards are a fantastic source of vitamins and minerals. While many think that collards can only grow in the South, this plant can grow in most regions quite successfully. As an added bonus for those growing collards in more Northern climates, gentle frosts will improve the flavor as the cold temperatures help to turn starches into sugars. "Top Bunch 2.0" boasts early maturity and rapid regrowth for an endless harvest throughout your growing season. And for those growing in more Southern regions, this variety has great resistance to bolting.
