Vates Collards is a 1950s non-heading, slow-bolting variety with large, blue-green leaves and a sweet, deeply satisfying flavor that's ideal for sautéing with garlic and olive oil, braising low and slow with smoked meat in the classic Southern tradition, or baking into chips with a satisfying crisp. Growing to 32 inches tall with generous, abundant leaves that keep producing all season, Vates is one of the most reliable and productive collard varieties available, and it improves in flavor after frost sweetens the leaves.
