The Red Candy Apple onion seeds http://www.dixondalefarms.com/produc...ate_day_onions "Dixondale Farms' exclusive since we are the only ones with the rights to the seed."

They aren't telling if they are OP or hybrid.
Park Seed says hybrid and 20 dollars for 60 sets.I can buy onions already grown for that price.I am assuming a set is one plant.Dixondale's patent must have worn off cause lots of seed vendors selling them now.
