Morris Heading Collards are a beloved heirloom variety known for their tender, flavorful leaves and compact, cabbage-like heads. Unlike traditional collards, this variety produces a loose head of crinkled, blue-green leaves with a smooth, mild taste and less bitterness—especially after a light frost.
Originally developed in the Southern U.S., Morris Heading is a staple in traditional cooking and appreciated for its cold hardiness, slow bolting, and high yields. The plants typically grow 18–24 inches tall, with leaves that are excellent for fresh use or freezing.
Key Features:
- Heirloom Southern favorite
- Forms a loose, semi-heading rosette
- Sweetens after frost
- Height: 18–24 inches
- Maturity: 75–85 days
- Ideal for fall and winter harvests
- Cut-and-come-again harvest possible
Growing Notes:

- Best planted in early spring or late summer for fall/winter crops
- Harvest outer leaves as needed, or wait for full head maturity
Culinary Use:
Excellent steamed, sautéed, or slow-cooked in broths and traditional Southern dishes. Leaves are tender enough for raw salads when young.
