Saffron – Specie Crocus Bulbs
Crocus Sativus or Saffron Crocus is an autumn flowering variety with rich lilac blooms displaying deep purple veins. However, the real interest is for the long red stigmas which are cultivated for the spice Saffron and is highly prized and more expensive than gold.
Plant in well drained, open sunny sites, harvest the stigmas in autumn, carefully remove with tweezers and avoid damaging the plants.
