Crocus – Saffron – 2 Bulbs

Crocus sativus

Watering: For best results plants like regular watering while in flower.
Fertilising: Use only a small amount of Blood
and Bone with a complete fertiliser at planting time and top dress annually in Summer.
Soil: Soil must be well drained.
Poor soil can be improved by digging in organic matter, like Black Gold Compost, before planting.

Planting Time: Plant in late Summer for flowering in late Autumn

Planting Depth: 7 to 10cm Positioning: Sunny position

Tips: Saffron is one of the most expensive spice in the world and needs to be harvested with a
pair of tweezers as soon as
flowers open. Allow threads to dry in a shaded well ventilated area for 4 to 5 days then store in
an airtight container.
