Renowned for producing semi-round, golden-yellow bulbs that store exceptionally well, this variety is an RHS Award of Garden Merit winner, making it a dependable choice for novice and experienced growers alike.

You should plant them in the UK from winter through early spring, as soon as the ground is workable.
Harvest when the leaves begin to yellow and fall over; generally, wait two weeks after this point to pull them up.
Yes, Centurion is specifically known for its excellent storage qualities once properly cured.
Yes, they perform well in deep pots or containers provided they receive full sun and good drainage.
It is an award given by the Royal Horticultural Society to plants that have performed reliably in garden trials.
Check soil temperature and moisture levels; sets may rot if planted in cold, waterlogged soil.
Ensure the plants are not overcrowded and are receiving at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day.
Inspect for pests like onion fly or signs of nitrogen deficiency in the soil.
For the best results, clear your planting area of weeds and incorporate organic matter into the soil to improve drainage and fertility. Push the sets into the soil so that only the tips are visible, spacing them about 10cm apart in rows 30cm apart. Ensure the bed receives maximum daily sunlight. During dry spells in late spring, water the plants moderately to support early development, but reduce watering as the harvest period approaches to prevent rot. Always store the sets in a cool, dry place before planting to prevent them from drying out or sprouting prematurely.
