The Carbeth Plants Pink Panther Onion Sets are ideal for home gardeners and allotment enthusiasts seeking a reliable, high-yield vegetable crop that produces visually striking pink-skinned bulbs. Perfect for everything from fresh salads to long-term storage, these onions offer a versatile mild-to-medium flavor profile; however, success depends heavily on proper soil preparation and ensuring the bulbs are adequately cured before storage to prevent spoilage.

Plant in early spring as soon as the soil is workable and has warmed up slightly, usually between March and April depending on your local climate.
Yes, they grow well in containers provided the pot is at least 15-20cm deep and has excellent drainage.
If properly cured and kept in a cool, dark, and well-ventilated place, they can last for several months.
While rich soil is best, a light application of general-purpose fertilizer early in the growing season can help, but avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers late in the season.
Curing is the process of drying the outer skins and sealing the neck of the onion to prevent bacteria from entering, which is essential for long-term storage.
This is often caused by temperature fluctuations or planting too early. Ensure sets are planted only after the threat of severe frost has passed.
This indicates insufficient curing. Ensure onions are completely dry and the neck of the onion is shriveled before storing in a cool, dark, and airy location.
To ensure a healthy crop, prepare the soil by incorporating well-rotted compost or manure several weeks before planting to improve drainage and nutrient levels. Plant the sets with the pointed end facing upward, pushing them into the soil just deep enough so the tip is barely visible. Keep the area weed-free, as onions are poor competitors. Water regularly during dry spells, but withhold water once the bulbs begin to swell and the foliage starts to yellow, as this encourages the drying-off process. Harvest when the foliage flops over naturally. After pulling, leave the onions on the soil surface for a few days to dry in the sun, then move them to a well-ventilated, dry location to finish curing before storing in crates or mesh bags.
