Grow and harvest your own saffron spice! Saffron crocus (Crocus sativus) grows just 4-6 inches tall and its rich, violet-purple blossoms have brilliant orange/red stigmas that are the source of the aromatic, exotic and pricey (!) culinary spice saffron. It’s easy to collect and dry the stigmas from the flowers for your own fresh, first quality, intensely flavored “threads” for cooking.
Saffron is easily grown in the garden or containers. Unlike other crocuses that bloom in the spring, saffron crocuses are planted late summer and bloom in the fall. They will flower even in cold weather and easily withstand light frosts. The flowers look pretty on the edge of a sunny lawn or in pots on your patio or deck.
These perennial bulbs are hardy in USDA zones 6 to 10 and go dormant in spring and summer. Bulbs multiply and get larger every year, so your bounty of saffron threads will increase each season.
