As a long-day onion variety, Ailsa Craig benefits from Canada's extended summer daylight hours, which encourage bulb formation after the plants have developed healthy foliage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the largest possible bulbs, provide fertile soil, consistent moisture, sufficient spacing, and a weed-free growing area. Onions have relatively shallow root systems and compete poorly with weeds for water and nutrients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAilsa Craig is primarily valued as a large, mild, sweet onion for fresh use. Unlike varieties specifically bred for long-term winter storage, its high-moisture bulbs are best enjoyed relatively soon after harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor detailed instructions covering seed starting, spacing, watering, fertilizing, harvesting, curing, and pest management, read our \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1105\/1214\/files\/How_to_Grow_Onions_-_Complete_Growing_Guide.pdf?v=1791519335\" title=\"How to Grow Onions in Canada | Complete Growing Guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eHow to Grow Onions in Canada | Complete Growing Guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAilsa Craig Onion Growing Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%;
