Product reviews for Onion Show Ailsa Craig Seeds
Onion (Show) Ailsa Craig Seeds
A splendid exhibition variety of golden merit producing large globe shaped onions with a rich golden straw coloured skin.
As well as being a super show variety it is also one of the best varieties for general cultivation producing large onions with an excellent mild flavour. Sow during mid-late winter in a good seed compost just covering the seed with compost.
Germination takes 14-21 days at 19-21C. Transplant seedlings when 36mm high into 9cm pots making sure the tiny bulb is not covered. When well rooted move to a cold frame and plant out in early spring at 38cm apart in a sunny spot in a rich fertile soil.
As the leaves start to yellow bend over the tops leave 14 days then lift and store when thoroughly ripened.
