If you love growing food all year long, you'll adore Bonnie's Choice Collard Greens in your garden. A cool-season vegetable that tastes sweetest after frost, collard greens add fabulous flavor to garden-to-table meals during chilly days. Paired with black-eyed peas as a traditional New Year's meal, collard greens make a great addition to recipes year-round. Add the greens to soups or stews, shred them in casseroles, simmer with pork, use young leaves in salads or wraps--or purée them for an interesting pesto. Collard greens need full sunlight and prefer cool temperatures for best flavor, so plant them in spring or fall. Space collards 24 to 36 inches apart, and plant in well-drained, nutrient-rich Miracle-Gro® soil. The plant grows 24 to 36 inches tall and matures in 35 to 45 days. Collard greens grow beautifully in large containers, raised beds, or in-ground gardens. Be sure to water your plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, and feed it regularly with Miracle-Gro® plant food. Bonnie Plants® easy-to-grow varieties create culinary inspiration, adding delicious flavors, textures, and colors to your garden-to-table meals.
