Flash Collards is a distinctive variety of collard greens known for its large, dark green, smooth leaves. It typically takes about 55-60 days to be ready for harvest, with a mildly sweet taste that has a hint of cabbage-like flavor, and becomes even more delectable after a frost. Flash has a fast growth and high yield, paired with its slow bolt, makes it a great choice for those who want a quick and plentiful harvest.
