🌸 Saffron Crocus! 🌸

Did you know that saffron comes from a crocus? This pricy spice is actually the stigma of Crocus sativus, a fall-flowering bulb that can be grown in the ground here in Canada down to Zone 5! Plant in early fall for blooms in late October-November, and be sure to mulch well if your area regularly sees temperatures below -23C. If you live in a colder region, you can still grow saffron crocus in a pot and overwinter them in a garage or basement!

When the crocuses bloom, harvest and dry the delicate saffron threads for storage. Each bloom contains 3 stigmas, and it can take over 100 flowers to produce just one gram of dried saffron. Luckily it doesn't take more than a tiny pinch for saffron to have an amazing effect on your recipes ✨

Get the most from your bulbs by planting varieties that bloom together 🌷 Look for bulbs with complementary colours, heights, and shapes that bloom simultaneously to fill your garden with colour!
