Growing Options : Red Candy Apple onions are suitable for growth in short, intermediate, and long day areas, but have shown the most optimal performance in intermediate day areas. Short day onions in particular, require 10 hours of daylight to produce larger bulbs, while intermediate day onions need 12-14 hours. This popular variety, Red Candy Apple, is classified as an intermediate day onion. For those in long day areas, additional nitrogen-rich fertilizer may need to be applied to support bulb development, as they start bulbing at 14-16 hours of daylight.
