It was named after the offshore rock island Ailsa Craig, visible from the castle and regarded as a striking natural landmark at the mouth of the Clyde. Botanically, it belongs to the family Amaryllidaceae, subfamily Allioideae, genus \u003cem\u003eAllium\u003c\/em\u003e, species \u003cem\u003eAllium cepa\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince its introduction in the late 19th century, ‘Ailsa Craig’ quickly became one of Britain’s best‑known historic giant onions. Its exceptionally large bulbs reach 15–20 cm in diameter and can weigh up to 2.5 kg. This impressive size made it an early favourite for exhibition at British garden shows, while its mild‑sweet flavour also made it popular in everyday cooking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe variety emerged during a period of intensive horticultural development at Culzean Castle, whose productive gardens were systematically expanded and cultivated throughout the 19th century. ‘Ailsa Craig’ combined the then‑valued traits of large, early‑maturing cooking onions with notable cold tolerance and reliable growth. This combination ensured that it remained in cultivation even after the rise of modern hybrid varieties. Its reputation as a historic giant onion, its adaptability and its characteristically mild flavour made it a variety preserved and grown across generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg height=\"119\" width=\"59\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/Appearance_Characteristics_-_Aussehen_Merkmale_-_Aparencia_Caracteristicas_-_www.benjis.net.jpg?v=1763065935\" \u003e   Appearance \u0026amp; Characteristics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the first year, the plants form very large bulbs and upright, vigorous foliage.

The plants are ready to plant when they have reached a height of 20 cm.  As a tip: If you prefer pre-cultivation without pricking out, shorten the plants by 1\/3 at the roots and leaf tips before planting out.  This stimulates the growth of the plants.
