Planting and Growing Information

Plant Saffron Crocus corms in late summer, positioning them 3-4 inches deep and 3-4 inches apart in well-drained soil. They thrive in full sun to partial shade in USDA hardiness zones 5-8. Expect gorgeous purple blooms to emerge in early to mid-fall (September-October), standing 8-10 cm tall. After flowering, the grassy foliage persists through winter before dying back in spring. Harvest the red stigmas carefully when flowers are fully open for culinary use.
