YouGarden Crocus Sativus Planting Bulb 40 Pack

Introducing one of the most exciting additions to any garden, Saffron Crocus, also known as Crocus sativus. With this set of bulbs, you'll be growing your own edible saffron spice straight from your flowerbeds, containers, or raised planters. Each purple bloom in autumn holds vivid red saffron strands, easy to pick, dry and enjoy in cooking or herbal teas. These bulbs are low maintenance and love a sunny, well-drained position. Ideal for containers on the patio or sunny spots in the border, they’ll flower in autumn, adding welcome colour and fragrance at an unexpected time. Saffron crocuses are hardy and easy to grow, and they’ll naturalise year after year to increase your harvest. Whether grouped together in a pot or woven through a sunny border, they mix beautifully with other autumn interest plants like nerines, cyclamen and ornamental grasses. Simply plant the bulbs in late summer or early autumn, water them in, and wait for the magic to happen. The saffron is ready to harvest the moment the blooms open. Dry it at home and you've got your own homegrown spice, incredibly satisfying and worth every second. Supplied as a set of 40 bulbs.
