Where Can You Grow Collards?

Collards are resilient brassicas that grow well in most Australian climates. They tolerate both heat and light frost, making them more adaptable than many leafy greens. Plant in fertile, well-drained soil with regular watering to ensure tender leaves.

Collards are suitable for backyard plots, raised beds, and even larger containers. Stagger sowings every few weeks for a continuous supply of fresh leaves throughout the year.

Health Benefits of Collards

Collard greens are nutrient-dense vegetables high in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as folate, calcium, and dietary fibre. Like other brassicas, they contain beneficial phytonutrients that support overall health. Regularly eating collards can boost immunity, aid digestion, and promote strong bones.
