I am new to growing onions and these produced awesome 3" - 5" bulbs. We also ate many as green onions and all along the way. Extremely pleased with this variety.

We have raised these onions for 5yrs. Each year doubling the amount on our order. We sell at 2 farmers markets and still run out of candy onions. This year we grew candys that weighed over 2 1/2 lbs! I tell customers buy 1 and I'll see you next week. Next week it's WHERES THOSE CANDY ONIONS!!

I have grown this onion for several years and have been very pleased. A great onion for this area, and stores well too.

The storage ability of the Candy onion has surprised me. We harvest in Arkansas in July, cure them in open crates until September, then refrigerate the onions in mesh bags. I am using the last ones now in January and they have retained full quality. Their flavor is unsurpassed for carmelized onions.
not good

Candy and Super Star

Candy is the ideal intermediate day onion. It even keeps pretty well(up to 4 months) The quality rivals yellow granex which does not keep. I planted one bunch and produced about 30 pounds of onions which were up to 5in. Mixed into the planting were several white (apparently Super Star) onions which matured in similar time and size to Candy.

Best onions I have ever grown. A older lady I know has been buying these onions from you for years. When her husband was alive he planted them. Next year I am going to plant 10 times as many so I can give them to all my friends. You keep doing whatever your doing because it's working!

Bad summer - very cold and dry. With a little help from the garden hose, I still got a very nice crop of Candy onions. We live just N/W of Chicago. I'll plant the same type again next year!! Your grow letters are GREAT.
