The Story
Candy Onion is a hybrid, day-neutral or intermediate-day onion variety that performs well in a wide-range of conditions. This onion variety will perform well in all regions with the exception of the deep south and the far north areas of the country. It produces a sweet, round bulb that is slightly flattened, but not as much as a typical granex or Vidalia variety. It matures relatively early and will store for months once harvested and cured correctly.
Candy Onion can be direct-seeded or transplanted, although we recommend transplanting. For direct-seeding, plant Seeds 2ā³ apart along the row with a row spacing of 24ā³. Once seedlings emerge, thin seedlings to a 6ā³ plant spacing along the row. Candy Onion Seeds can be planted with our Hoss Garden Seeder. We recommend using a #3 seed plate and modifying the hole size slightly to accommodate the onion variety being planted. For denser plantings, more holes may need to be drilled to accommodate a thicker spacing.
