This outstanding James Wong offer contains the following:60 Saffron Crocus Bulbs
- We don't often think of bulbs as edible, but this beautiful autumn-blooming Saffron Crocus (Crocus sativus) is, as its name suggests, the flower from which we gather saffron, the quintessential seasoning for paella & other Mediterranean dishes & perfect for adding to basmati rice for an authentic Indian curry! The lilac-violet flowers produce vibrant red stigmas, which have been used for flavouring & colouring dishes since Roman times. Our growing instructions explain how easy it is to harvest the saffron, but it's not vital you do so
- you may just wish to enjoy the lovely autumn flowers! They will thrive in a well drained border, or in a container on the patio. Plus theyre super-hardy (tolerant of summer heat & winter cold) & multiply rapidly from year to year. Bulb
