Hi Ruud,
This link may shed some light on the subject.

While it is true that collards were originally cabbage cut before heading modern varieties of collards, such as cv. 'Vates', are bred specifically to produce only leaves. They will never produce a 'cabbage' head per se but will instead run to seed.
