Collards This non-heading member of the cabbage family has huge cabbage-like, blue-green, slightly crumpled, juicy leaves. Collards are overlooked for gourmet greens, lettuce, and cabbage. Collards grow under more adverse conditions, and are very tasty when cooked or when young leaves are used in salads. Collards are excellent when served with corn bread and fried green tomatoes.

In dry climates, water deeply once a week.
