Candy F1 Onion
Allium cepa
Price: $3.95
SKU: 3280020185 days to maturity. Candy is a hybrid, intermediate-day onion with sweet flavor and large bulbs. It starts forming bulbs when daylight reaches 12 to 14 hours. Candy is a cross between a short-day and a long-day onion, so it takes useful traits from both. It's milder than most onions grown in the North and keeps longer than most sweet onions grown in the South.
Bulbs are round and slightly flattened, though not as flat as Granex or Vidalia types. They can grow up to 6 inches across, with light brown to golden skin and white flesh. Plants have short, sturdy tops and tight necks, which help the bulbs cure and store well.
