Days to Maturity: 110
Approximate Seed Count: 75Long Day- Originating in Scotland, Ailsa Craig Onions have yellow/brown skin. They are known for their stunning flavor and size. These giant sweet onions are known to grow 1-2 pounds a piece, sometimes up to 5lbs! Recommended for fresh eating as these don't have the longest shelf life.
My onion seeds arrived timely and the price was great. I have planted the seeds today and I am excited to get them started. I have read they can weigh from 1 to 5 lbs. They are long day onions so they will need lots of sunlight hours to grow. I like to plant onions and marigolds in my vegetable beds to keep the pests away.
Well, I can confirm that I planted the seeds and germination has happened. The red onions I bought here last year were amazing at harvest time but I have to wait for harvest to confirm that these are as good as. Unfortunately, the quantity of seeds wasn’t what I was expecting, but that’s on me. You see, the other onion seed packs have hundreds of seeds and are clearly labeled as to the seed weight. This package is also clearly labeled likewise, but I failed to notice when I was ordering. Does the quantity of seeds deter me from recommending them? No, not at all. I’m going to hazard a guess that they’re expensive seeds because of the variety and loading up the package for the same price as the other ones is not a feasible option. The fact that I have no idea what this variety will be like at harvest time is what keeps me from putting a stamp of approval on them.
Honestly, I wouldn’t even be reviewing the product right now other than the fact there was an email asking me to do so. It’s not really an accurate review of what will be…
100 percent germination. Hopeful for a great harvest this year
I have trouble growing large onions. So far these onions have grown the largest for me.
Great germination and amazing flavor
My only complaint is that I was not prepared for how well and fast all of the seeds would grow soI had to pot up earlier than expected! I am very happy with all of the seeds I have purchased from here!
I think I got near perfect germination on these. Cauliflower has always been challenging for me to time it out and know when to harvest. I've been learning that crops that have purple or reds in them (looking at my red lettuce varieties and purple sprouting broccoli) seem to bolt less quickly than their green counterparts in heat.
I have been buying seeds from you for the last 3 years. They germinate very well, and have produced the best gardens I have ever had. I just got my order for this year started in my greenhouse. For the first time I opened a packet of All Seasons Cabbage and there were no seeds in it. the rest of the order is doing great. The price of the seeds also good.

This is my first year growing straw flower. The germination rate is fantastic and you get so many seeds. Can't wait till they can moved outdoors and bloom in my purple flower bed.
Everything but the royal paste sprouted. Sometimes that happens. Will place another order for fall planting.
