Morris Heading is an old variety that is called heading because its leaves grow together in a head, although not as tightly as a cabbage's.
Morris Heading Collards
- Height: 24 to 36 inches
- Matures: 70 to 80 days
This old open-pollinated variety produces broad, waxy leaves that vary from green to blue-green. Many plants will form loose, leafy heads late in the growing season. An old Southern favorite with great flavor and nutrition. Grows best in full sun, but will tolerate partial shade and even appreciates it in spring in hot climates. Leaves are made sweeter by frost. Great for fall. Space transplants 36 inches apart.
