Verve English Collard Greens
New! 60 days. Verve isn't a true Collard Green, but rather a variety of traditional English Spring Greens. It's similar to Collards, but sweeter and more tender, and it cooks incredibly quickly, but still stores for months. If you love Collards but don't have the patience for cooking them, this alternative is perfect! (F1.)
One packet of about 100 seeds
- Information
The cornerstone of traditional Southern cooking and kitchen gardens, these leafy green vegetables include Mustard Greens, Collard Greens, Kale and Turnip Greens. Customarily simmered for hours with salt pork or ham hocks, the best way to preserve their wonderful flavors, textures and color is to quickly braise or saute them in olive oil and Garlic. Most Cooking Greens prefer cool weather, although Collard Greens are wonderfully tolerant of summer heat. Direct sow Collard, Mustard and Turnip Greens outdoors in the early spring as soon as the soil can be worked and in the late summer for fall harvest.
Average seed life: 4 years.
