Crocus Sativus (Saffron)
Crocus Sativus
OUT OF STOCK
Fragrant Autumn flowering crocus Sativus. Has been grown for the expensive spice in Britain since the Tudor times. When in flower look for the red 'ribbons' and remove with tweezers. They can be dried and stored in an airtight container for up to two years. You need a lot of Sativus to harvest a significant crop of Saffron. It is fun to have a little home grown Saffron and the flower is delightful. Like all Crocus, they naturalise and multiply. Grow these stunning and fragrant flowers in patio pots or at the fronts of garden borders. 7-8cm corms supplied.
