Saffron - Crocus Bulbs (Sativus)

Yes, it's true—you can get saffron without selling your jewelry to pay for it. Just grow it! And get a feast for your eyes AND your belly. Saffron crocuses are the gift that keeps on giving, with vibrant purples, yellows, and reds that come back year after year in the fall. If you plant them in a large group, you'll end up with a gorgeous, shimmering tapestry of color. Bonus: they're deer-resistant, and bees love them. Harvesting saffron is easy—just pick the red stamens once the flowers are fully open. You can use them right away or dry and store them for months.
