Candy Hybrid Onion Plants

‘Candy’ is a popular day-neutral hybrid onion prized for its impressive size, dependable performance, and exceptionally sweet, mild flavor. Large, globe-shaped bulbs can reach softball size, with attractive golden-brown skin surrounding crisp, white flesh. Because it is day-neutral, ‘Candy’ can be grown successfully across a wide range of regions.

Plant ‘Candy’ onion transplants in full sun, setting them about 1 to 1½ inches deep and spacing plants 12 to 18 inches apart. Choose loose, well-drained soil and water thoroughly after planting to help the transplants establish. Keep the soil evenly moist as the bulbs begin to size up.

Ready to harvest in about 90 days, pull onions once the bulbs have reached full size and the tops begin to naturally fall over. Allow the bulbs to cure thoroughly before storing to help maintain their quality for months.

Sweet, mild, and versatile, ‘Candy’ is excellent for slicing, salads, sandwiches, grilling, roasting, and everyday cooking. Its large size, reliable performance, and long storage potential make it one of our most popular onion varieties.
