Notes
'Cash Crop' collard (Brassica oleracea 'Cash Crop') is a vegetable for food gardens, borders, and as a specimen. It is typically grown as an annual. It ranks among the more cold-hardy crops, and with some winter protection it keeps growing through light freezes. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It is a Georgia-type hybrid with an erect habit. Bees and butterflies visit the green flowers, and the plant tolerates salt.
Pairs well with Scallion green onion, Berggarten sage, and Green Zebra tomato.
