Dutch Passion is one of the oldest and most historically significant cannabis seed banks in existence, having been founded in Amsterdam in 1987 by Henk van Dalen. The company is widely credited as a pioneering force behind the commercial development of feminized cannabis seeds in the 1990s — a breakthrough that fundamentally transformed how growers approached cultivation worldwide. That legacy of innovation has continued throughout their nearly four decades in business.

The strain catalogue at Dutch Passion is both deep and diverse, encompassing classic Dutch genetics, modern high-THC hybrids, and a particularly well-developed CBD and autoflowering range. Iconic varieties including Blueberry, Mazar, and Orange Bud originated with or were popularised by Dutch Passion, and these cultivars remain sought-after by growers who value stability and history in their genetics. The seed bank has also embraced more recent trends, producing an excellent Auto series and dedicated CBD lines for medicinal users.

Dutch Passion ships globally with a track record of reliable delivery and publishes one of the most comprehensive online grow journals and strain libraries in the industry. Their commitment to genetic transparency — publishing detailed test results and phenotype data — reflects a professionalism that distinguishes them from less rigorous competitors. For any cannabis grower interested in the history and evolution of the plant, Dutch Passion is not just a seed bank but a living archive of the modern cannabis era.
