If you're constantly searching the pantry for onions to add to your favorite recipes, it's time to grow Bonnie Plants® Candy Onions in your garden. Each bunch contains 30 to 40 plants, perfect for filling your pantry with homegrown onions. This day-neutral variety means that it performs well in most regions. Candy Onions taste delicious, whether chopped fresh for a salad, diced for salsa, sliced for a sandwich, baked in an onion-fennel gratin, or used to flavor a cassoulet. The easy-to-grow, disease-resistant plant produces large bulbs weighing 1 to 2 pounds. Onions need full sunlight to produce bulbs. Plant Candy Onions in early spring in colder regions or fall in warm climates. Keep bulbs cool and dry until you can plant, up to 3 weeks. Separate onion plants from the bunch, spacing them 6 inches apart, and grow in well-drained, nutrient-rich soil. Onions grow well in raised beds or in-ground gardens. The tops reach 12 to 18 inches tall, and bulbs mature in 100 to 110 days. With proper conditions, Candy Onions store well for about 3 months after harvest. Be sure to water your plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, and feed it regularly with Miracle-Gro® plant food. Bonnie Plants® easy-to-grow varieties create culinary inspiration, adding delicious flavors, textures, and colors to your garden-to-table meals.
