GROWN IN SCOTLAND by Seeds of Scotland


Brassica oleracea

A beautiful Autunm/Winter cabbage from our friends at Solhatt in Norway. 

Blåtop Kvithamar came out top in our cabbage trails in 2025.  Sturdy, healthy plants produced big, beautiful purple-tinged heads.  A great choice for Scotland's short, maritime growing seasons.

Bred at Statens Forsøksgård for hagebruk, Horticultural Research Station located in Kvithamarr in the Trøndelag region of Norway in the 1930's. The goal was to develop a variety with a shorter growing period suitable as a winter cabbage for the Trøndelag region (same latitude as Iceland).

Your seeds are just great! Always excellent germination rates. This is the second year we have had your Robinson peas which are really lovely and grow so well.

I thought you should know that your seeds have been wonderful. In an otherwise rubbish growing season, everything I bought from you has thrived. I’ve been eating purple mangetout and Carter’s Polish beans for weeks now and they’re still going strong.

Desert Spirit Landrace did exceptionally well in my polycrub here in the Western Isles - I even won the pumpkin growing competition that we put up for local growers and allotment holders.

I want to thank you for my Garden of Abundance. I’m a new gardener to Scotland and your seeds have given me such joy. I can hardly keep up with eating the rocket and I’ve planted my 2nd set of lettuce already.

My Black Isle broad beans are germinating after four days. How is that possible? ! Fab seed!

I wanted to pass on the great success all of the seeds I bought from you have been. 

Greatest success was ripe tomatoes (Scotland Yellow) on 7th of July - in Orkney!! Over two weeks later and none of my other varieties are even close to ripe.
