Crocus sativus, also known as Saffron Crocus, is a prized autumn bloomer cherished for its delicate lilac-purple petals adorned with vibrant crimson stigmas, which are the source of the valuable spice saffron. These elegant perennials not only add beauty to garden beds, borders, and containers but also offer the opportunity to harvest your own saffron. Crocus sativus blooms in autumn, enriching your outdoor space with its unique colour and form.

To plant Crocus sativus bulbs, select a sunny or partially shaded location with well-drained soil. Plant the bulbs in late summer to early autumn, approximately 5-8 cm deep and 5-10 cm apart, with the pointed end facing upwards. Ensure the soil is moderately moist during the growing season, watering as needed. These hardy bulbs require minimal maintenance once established. Allow the foliage to die back naturally after flowering to support bulb growth and ensure a bountiful harvest of saffron threads each year.
