Delivery Information View Product DescriptionLoading...Description How to Grow More Info Delivery ReviewsCrocus sativus is a pretty autumn flowering species that is prized for its long orange-red stamens, better known as Saffron. This valuable spice commands a high price in the supermarkets, but there’s no reason why you can’t grow your own. Crocus sativus can be planted in pots, rockeries or free draining, gritty soil in borders, where the purple flowers will brighten up the garden from October. Simply harvest the stamens as the flowers open and lightly dry them before storing in an air-tight container for use later on. Height: 15cm (6"). Spread: 5cm (2").
