Vegetable Seeds Onion (Show) Ailsa Craig

Garden Centre > Seeds & Bulbs > Vegetable seeds & Bulbs > Onion

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.

Quantity 350 seeds
