Crocus 'Saffron'
Crocus sativus is a beautiful autumn-flowering bulb prized both for its ornamental value and for producing the world’s most precious spice. Its delicate, lilac-purple flowers open in October, each bloom revealing bright crimson stigmas - the source of saffron threads, which can be harvested and dried for culinary use. The slender, grass-like foliage appears alongside or shortly after the flowers, adding fine texture to autumn displays.
Hardy and easy to grow in well-drained soil, Crocus ‘Saffron’ thrives in sunny positions such as rock gardens, pots, or the front of borders. It naturalises well over time, returning each year with a reliable show of blooms and a touch of exotic charm.
