What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the Burpee Candy Hybrid Onion for its exceptional flavor and reliable garden performance. The namesake sweetness and mildness are consistently highlighted, making these onions superior for raw eating compared to store bought options. Gardeners report achieving high yields of large, uniform bulbs, confirming the hybrid's robust growth. While purchasing established plants is convenient, shipping live material presents the main challenge. Some buyers report receiving stressed or damaged plants upon arrival, impacting initial success. A few experienced growers also noted premature bolting. Despite these logistical issues, the superior quality of the final harvest generally outweighs the initial shipping risks, resulting in strong overall satisfaction for home vegetable growers.
