Saffron Bloom & Gold (Crocus Sativus)

Crocus Sativus, also known as Saffron Crocus, is a very interesting Autumn-flowering species. The Saffron Crocus bulbs can be left in the ground for 6 years, producing plenty of blooms in the first year but they save their best saffron harvest for the second year after planting. This lovely and showy crocus produces large, rich lilac flowers with distinctive purple veins and three long, deep-red stigmas that extend beyond the petals.
