lost thread, saffron
« on: April 19, 2012, 20:07 »
Hi,
I read a thread about growing saffron crocus some time back but cannot locate it.

 I am trying to find out where to purchase these bulbs from and any other info regarding growing them.

regards Mark

1, Question, how many flowers should you get from 1 bulb?

Mark

Usually you just get the one flower per bulb, but the bulbs multiply (just like other crocus bulbs do) so you increase your harvest year by year.

Sometimes from slightly more mature bulbs you might get an extra flower or two.

Hi,
 thats kinda what I was hoping would happen but I haven't researched this to be honest, the origional thread made me more curious, looks like I will be growing these when I find them, they will look pretty in the corners of my asparagus bed and I love saffron rice.  :)

Thanks again.

Mark
