Saffron is a fascinating plant - in the crocus genus, it grows from little corms that throw out long green spindly leaves and low blooming flowers that produce three orange-red stigmas. These three stigmas ARE what we know as saffron in a spice jar. Even wilder, there is no known example of Crocus sativus in the wild - it appears to be a mutation from a predecessor that is now entirely propagated through human cultivation! | All About Gardening

Thinking of growing your own saffron? 👀 Farmers in the US have been growing saffron crocus since the 1600s, when the Pennsylvania Dutch first brought over these little bulbs. Grown from corms (not seeds), the plant is easy to grow in raised beds or containers. But the real work? Harvesting those tiny red threads in the center—that’s the saffron, and it’s worth more than gold (literally). Saffron is pricey not because it’s hard to grow, but because picking and drying the spice is super labor-int

 Did you know saffron flowers only bloom for one to two weeks per year?  A saffron flower (Crocus sativus) typically blooms for a very short period, lasting only about one to two weeks each year. The flowering period occurs in the fall, generally from mid-October to early November, depending on the climate and specific growing conditions. Each flower only remains open for a few days before it withers. This brief blooming period is when the saffron threads (stigmas) are harvested, as they need

Let’s set the record straight. There’s only ONE flower on Earth that produces saffron spice: the Crocus sativus. Period. 🌸💎 So to all the know-it-alls flooding the comments saying ‘all crocus are the same’… you’re wrong. Dead wrong. Your spring crocus in the yard? Pretty, yes. Saffron producer? Absolutely not. ❌ Only the fall-blooming Crocus sativus produces the world’s most expensive spice. If you don’t like that fact, take it up with nature — not me. 🌎 Stop spreading bad info and misleading

The spice saffron is worth more than gold in equivalent weight. It grows from a type of crocus called Crocus sativus. The actual part of the flower you want for saffron is the scarlet red, ribbon thread that protrudes from the crocus flower. It is also known as the stigma, which makes up the female part of the flower. Plant saffron corms now (September) and you should be able to harvest them when they flower in November this year #saffron saffroncrocus | Simon Akeroyd Garden Writer
