There's Holland Late Winter and Marner Lagerweiss. The later is listed in the Organic Gardening 2010 catalogue.
Flighty's plot,  http://flightplot.wordpress.com,  is my blog.

Except the red ones...

Tundra is a good white too....
Filderkraut if you want to be strange...

I grow Golden Acre which is lovely raw and cooked, the heads stand a long while for me, too.

Filderkraut if you've got the space.... those things get enormous!
and that's a fiarly normal one apparently...

I'm growing a few Hispi's for the summer, soem Kalibos for reds and Primo's for white.... they're all nice and compact...
