This heirloom variety, a staple of traditional American cooking for over 150 years, is celebrated for its huge, spreading blue-green leaves and its remarkable ability to produce abundant harvests even in challenging conditions.
What makes ‘Georgia Southern’ truly special for the home grower is its productivity and flavour. The leaves are tender yet substantial, with a rich, mineral-like sweetness that is perfect for slow-cooking in stews, braising with smoky flavours, or adding a nutritional punch to soups. Because the plant has a loose-leaf, non-heading habit, you can harvest continuously from the bottom up, ensuring a fresh supply of robust greens throughout the long growing season
