One tiny flower. Three precious red threads. A spice that can begin right in your own garden.
Saffron may be famous as one of the world's most valuable spices, but growing it successfully is less about mystery and more about understanding the remarkable seasonal rhythm of Crocus sativus. Growing Saffron gives beginners a practical, grounded guide to establishing saffron crocus from corms and carrying the crop all the way through flowering, harvesting, drying, storage, and propagation. Unlike many familiar garden plants, saffron follows an unusual calendar. It awakens near the end of summer, flowers in autumn, keeps its slender leaves through the cooler months, forms daughter corms in spring, and then retreats underground for summer dormancy. Inside, you'll discover how to:- Identify true culinary saffron, Crocus sativus
- Choose a suitable climate and growing location
- Buy firm, healthy, correctly identified corms
- Prepare fertile, exceptionally well-drained soil
- Use raised beds and containers where appropriate
- Choose planting depth and spacing for local conditions
- Water without encouraging corm rot
- Feed plants without forcing excessive growth
- Protect developing corms and healthy foliage
- Harvest flowers during their brief autumn bloom
- Separate the three valuable red-orange stigma branches
- Dry saffron carefully for quality and storage
- Store finished threads away from moisture, heat, and light
- Lift, divide, grade, and replant daughter corms
- Troubleshoot poor emergence, flowering, and storage problems
