My AccountGoing strong since 1887! This heritage exhibition variety was named after a small island off the coast of Scotland.
Ailsa Craig is a large, globe-shaped onion with golden, straw coloured skin and produces weighty onions perfect for the show bench.
The excellent keeping qualities and mild flavour make it a superb variety for the home gardener too.
