Experimented with planting saffron crocus in October. A month later the crocus bloomed and I was harvesting saffron, amazing! ⁣ ⁣ I’ve yet to learn if the bulbs will withstand our hot summers. (I’ll experiment with pulling some out and leaving some in to find out.) ⁣ ⁣ After high school I spent a few months living in Spain. I’m excited to recreate the paella I enjoyed eating there with this delicious spice.⁣ ⁣ #howtogrowyourownfood #saffron #saffroncrocus #growinginthegarden #gardeningtips #vege

🌸Saffron crocus, or crocus sativus, is a member of the Iris family, Iridaceae. It is cultivated for its bright orange-red stigmas used as a spice. Saffron has a nuanced, complex flavor with a sweet, floral, and subtle earthy taste. Its labor-intensive cultivation, consisting of gathering and processing techniques, makes saffron the most valuable spice in the world.
