Other: Morris is an heirloom collard green with tender leaves, often referred to as ‘Cabbage Collards’ due to its wide leaves on short stems forming loose cabbage-like heads. It has earned the nickname ‘heading’ for the same characteristics. This variety is popular in the southern regions and can be planted in spring or fall. The plants are slow to bolt and tolerate heat well. They also handle some frost, and a slight frost can enhance their flavor. The young leaves are most tender and flavorful and can be picked when up to 10 inches long.
