Very well-known globe-shaped heirloom onion that reaches a really huge size—5 lbs is rather common! The skin is a pale yellow and the flesh is relatively mild and sweet, so it is recommended for fresh use—not a storage type. Introduced in 1887 by David Murray, gardener for the Marquis of Ailsa, at Culzean Castle in Maybole, South Ayrshire, Scotland.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing Tips:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Ailsa Craig onion thrives in full sun and requires rich, moist, well-draining soil. Mulching with a straw can help conserve moisture and suppress weeds, as onions do not tolerate competition. Water regularly, especially during bulb development. Consider interplanting onions with cabbage relatives, as the sulfur from the onions may help deter pests.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59511036674334,"sku":"ON122","price":4.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/2280\/5022\/files\/onion_ailsa_craig.jpg?v=1782394217","url":"https:\/\/www.rareseeds.com\/products\/onion-ailsa-craig","provider":"RareSeeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
