Candy Onion Starts Bundle/48

Candy is a sweet, globe shaped, yellow onion. This onion is great for anyone that has never had much success growing onions. Candy onion plants are so easy to grow due to their strong root system and disease resistance. They are 90-100 days to harvest. They can store up to 3 months. 

Planting instructions: Onions require full sun and good soil drainage. Choose a location that gets plenty of direct sun. Onions grow best on raised beds or raised rows at least 4″ high and 20″ wide. The soil should be loose and crumbly. If it’s compacted, work in compost to improve aeration and drainage.

Plant your onions 4 to 6 weeks before the last estimated spring freeze. Plant the onions 1″ deep and no deeper, as this will inhibit their ability to bulb. If you want the onions to grow to maturity, space them 4″ apart. If you prefer to harvest some earlier as green onions, space them 2″ apart and pull every other onion during the growing season, leaving the rest to grow to maturity.

Each bundle contains a minimum of 48 plant starts.
