I planted 20 corms last month and have harvested about 4 flowers already
you have to pick flower earlier in the day (almost before sunrise) before it open to keep amazing odor. We used to grow it here in Iran, but not anymore in our fields.
Do you HAVE to cut the flower off – or can I just leave it but take the stamens?
My mom still has boxes of saffron in Spain from the 70s and 80s and she still uses them lol You can find them in any supermarket in Spain. It's expensive per kilo but you get grams in a box that lasts years so it's actually cheap.
You da man. So much BS pop’n off everywhere, and you are hear teaching people how to grow. Keep up the good work
So what's the reason for cutting the flower?
Wow! What’s the best weather/season for growing? I’m in Australia.
LoL expensive my ass. we have that in every market here in the Philippines
I am studying for a masters degree in soil science and horticulture and I did a whole assignment on saffron!
I’m pretty sure we have this growing naturally in my home town
''World's most expensive spice'' is a tall claim. I have personal spices that I wouldn't trade the whole Multiverse for.
Where do you get the seeds or plant from
So the bulb splits by two and each bulb gives maybe three soo by 10 or 11 generations assuming the bulbs dont die off by some disease….you'll have abt 2.5 or 3k stigma. That's probably the most ill use hs math in this decade
Does anyone know where Pokémon are generated?
What’s is Purpose
I have a large bed of them – I just pluck the stigmas and leave the flower – I have a tray in my one hand and pluck with the other
Mine is blooming too!
Oooooh! Growing saffron…. hell yea. I want to grow saffron. 🙂
I have crocus, not the variety I need I guess. I will be on the hunt!!
I planted some last Jan. They grew leaves, but no flowers. They went dormant, now they're growing, but no flowers yet. They're inside under lights cos I'm in the Midwest. Hope I get flowers soon
Where can you buy the saffron crocus bulb from?
Where did you get your corms? I am now living in a climate that it will make it through the winters. And I have been wanting to grow it for 15 years.
what saffron has 200 000 threads?
Saffron is worth more than gold.
Planted 40 in 2021… all 40 came up, but the plants never came back up this year until late Sept and never bloomed at all. I dont understand why?
I never bothered picking the flower, just used tweezers to pull the threads directly.
Thumbs down for Penzie’s.
What does saffron taste like?
Worth more it’s weight in gold!
