Saffron Corms - Grade 2 Medium

Grow your own saffron, one of the world's most prized spices, right in your own garden. Graded between 2.0cm and 3.5cm, these quality saffron corms are ideal for gardeners looking to establish a productive saffron patch at an affordable price.
 

Planted in summer, they will develop strong root systems and adapt quickly to local growing conditions. While occasional flowers may appear in the first autumn, these corms are primarily intended for building a long-term saffron patch rather than providing an immediate harvest. As the corms multiply and mature, flowering and saffron yields increase year after year.
 

Suitable for garden beds, raised beds, pots and containers, saffron thrives in a sunny position with well-drained soil. As a hardy perennial, the corms will naturally multiply over time, rewarding you with increasing blooms and larger harvests each season.
