Allium cepa is the species behind several onion seed types in this assortment. For seed retailers and garden centres buying in bulk, the distinction between bulb-onion and spring-onion references is more useful than treating every onion name as equivalent. The named cultivar identifies the item within this wider assortment.

Onion identity and assortment types

Allium cepa belongs to the Amaryllidaceae. Its green leaves and rounded flower heads are characteristic features of the plant. Cultivated selections differ in the development of the bulb and in the stage at which they are used. The trade name spring onion can also refer to other Allium species; it does not establish botanical identity on its own.

Ailsa Craig, White Lisbon and Hyskin F1

Ailsa Craig is offered in the seed trade as a large, globe-shaped onion with golden straw-coloured skin and a mild flavour. White Lisbon and Hyskin F1 are separate named references in this range. Compare their individual descriptions when choosing an onion seed assortment rather than extending Ailsa Craig’s bulb characteristics to the other entries.

Comparing wholesale quantities

The Ailsa Craig and White Lisbon entries use weight-based prices, while Hyskin F1 uses seed-count pricing. For a reseller enquiry, retain the exact variety name, article code and displayed unit. This keeps a quantity in kilograms separate from a quantity expressed as a number of seeds.
