Clear Dawn Yellow Storage Onion
Clear Dawn is an extraordinary open pollinated storage onion. It has a strong flavor when consumed raw but with cooking becomes delightfully sweet. A fantastic companion for winter soups or veggie roasts.
Transplant. Start indoors 8 weeks before last frost and plant out after they reach 5-6″ tall, around 4 weeks before last frost. Keep onions evenly watered throughout growing season. Harvest when foliage begins to flop, then allow to dry and cure in a dry area out of direct sunlight. Can easily store until March in cool, dry, and dark conditions.
Seed Source Information:
Clear Dawn is the result of an extensive dehybridization project undertaken decades ago by a group of biodynamic growers, who captured the traits of Copra F1 onion in this modern open pollinated version introduced by Meadowlark Hearth Seed Company. An outstanding example of breeding for the commons and public good.
