Crocus sativus, the true Saffron Crocus, is one of nature’s most extraordinary plants – prized for producing the world’s most valuable spice. Each pot contains five pre-planted bulbs ready to grow and bloom with stunning lilac flowers that yield the delicate red stigmas known as saffron threads.

Each flower produces three precious stigmas that can be harvested by hand once the blooms open. Simply follow the included QR code for guidance and enjoy harvesting your own saffron at home.

  • The only Crocus species that blooms in autumn
  • 5 bulbs per 12cm nursery pot
  • Each flower yields 3 saffron threads
  • Scientific research links saffron to positive effects on mood, eye health and reducing inflammation
  • After flowering, plant the bulbs in your garden to enjoy annual autumn blooms

How to Grow:
Place your saffron crocus in bright light and keep the soil lightly moist. Harvest the red stigmas as soon as the flowers open. After flowering, allow the foliage to die back naturally before planting the bulbs outdoors for future seasons.
