Green Glaze

An interesting collard with glossy green leaves, but off-type plants with non-glossy, dull leaves are very common. Plants measure 18-30" tall and 33-55" wide. Elliptic, thick leaves have a rounded apex and measure 16-22" long and 9.75-12.5" wide. Leaf stems are narrow and light green. This variety was donated to Seed Savers Exchange by Exchange lister William Woys Weaver (PA WE W) who acquired the variety from Southern Exposure Seed Exchange of Virginia. By name, the variety 'Green Glaze' dates to the 1820s when it was offered by the David Landreth seed company of Philadelphia. SSE Accession # 106776
