Collard Seeds - Champion

Champion Collard is a dependable, heavy-yielding collard selected for big plants, broad dark-green leaves, and a steady harvest through cool weather. This variety grows with a strong upright habit and builds thick, tender leaves that hold up well in the garden and in the pot. It is a classic “workhorse” collard that performs for home gardens, rows, and cut-and-come-again harvesting.

The leaves are large and substantial with a rich, traditional collard flavor that sweetens noticeably after cool nights and light frosts. Champion is especially well-suited to slow simmering, braising, and sautéing, but it is also excellent sliced thin for quick-cooked greens, soups, and stews. Its texture stays hearty without getting stringy when harvested at the right stage.

As a long-season brassica, Champion is valued for reliability and volume. With consistent moisture and regular picking, it keeps producing fresh leaves over an extended window, making it a strong choice for growers who want a true Southern-style collard that fills the basket again and again.
