Onion ~ Ailsa Craig

A renowned Scottish heirloom named for the rocky island of Ailsa Craig, this variety is famous for producing impressively large, globe-shaped bulbs with a mild, sweet flavor. Pale golden skins encase crisp, juicy flesh that is low in pungency, making it ideal for fresh use in salads, sandwiches, and slicing. Though not a long keeper, Ailsa Craig excels as a summer onion, rewarding attentive growers with exhibition-worthy size under good conditions. Well-suited to Canadian gardens when started early, it thrives with ample space, nutrients, and consistent moisture. A classic choice for both show and table. Sweet Onion. 95 days from transplant
