GENERAL DESCRIPTION CROCUS SATIVUS MAY HAVE SHOOTS ON THEM WHEN BOUGHT IF IN THE LATE AUTUMN. THIS IS NOT DETRIMENTAL TO THE GROWING OF THE BULBS AT ALL AND WILL DIE OFF AND THROW GREEN SHOOTS IN THE SPRING. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT CROCUS SATIVUS DO NOT ALWAYS FLOWER THE FIRST YEAR BUT SHOULD BE FINE IN SUBSEQUENT YEARS. A PERENNIAL THAT GROWS FROM A CORM, SAFFRON CROCUS SENDS UP ONE TO FIVE PALE TO MEDIUM LILAC-PURPLE FLOWERS IN MID-LATE AUTUMN, BUT IT IS MAINLY GROWN FOR THE FLAVORFUL, THREE BRANCHED, ORANGE-RED STYLE THAT ORNAMENTS EACH FLOWER’S CENTRE.THE GRASS-LIKE GRAY-GREEN FOLIAGE APPEARS WITH THE FLOWERS. “SAFFRON” IS THE ONLY SPICE TO COME FROM A FLOWER THAT IS HARVESTED BY GATHERING THE THREE LONG, DEEP-RED STAMENS FROM THE FEMALE AND DRYING THEM. .“SAFFRON”, THE DEEP RED THREADS THAT FLAVOUR RICE DISHES LIKE SPANISH PAELLA, IS ACTUALLY THE DRIED STAMEN OF THE SATIVUS CROCUS. THE SPICE IS SO EXPENSIVE BECAUSE OF THE LABOUR INVOLVED WITH HAND PICKING THE SMALL FLOWER PARTS. BUT IF YOUR RECIPE CALLS FOR 6-8 THREADS (NOT THE 4,000 NEEDED FOR AN OUNCE) YOU CAN COMPLETE THE “HARVEST” IN LESS THAN A MINUTE. INDULGE IN A LUXURY THAT’S VERY AFFORDABLE WHEN YOU PROVIDE THE GROWING SITE AND THE LABOUR. FLOWERS ARE HARVESTED IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE FLOWERS OPEN. THE LONG STYLE BRANCHES ARE SEVERED, GATHERED AND DRIED. THE SAFFRON CAN THEN BE USED IN CULINARY MASTERPIECES, GROW “SAFFRON CROCUS” IN FULL SUN IN RICH, WELL DRAINED SOIL. THE CORMS FLOWER BEST IF ED AT A DEPTH OF SEVERAL TIMES THEIR HEIGHT. SHALLOWLY ED BULBS OFTEN DIVIDE INTO MANY SMALL, NON-FLOWERING CORMS AFTER THE FIRST YEARS BLOOM. DIG AND RE THE CORMS IN LATE SUMMER EVERY 3 OR 4 YEARS. S ARE STERILE AND SO CANNOT BE PROPAGATED BY SEED. “SAFFRON CROCUS” CAN BE GROWN AS AN ANNUAL, IN CONTAINERS AND ERS, BOTH FOR ITS SPICE AND AS A CURIOSITY.
