Growing Saffron

Saffron are easy to grow, in good, friable soil and kept slightly moist during the flowering period. They can also be grown on a pot. Be careful not to over-water when grown like that.

Saffron is worth more than its weight in gold. Its the cost of picking the saffron that makes it so valuable, the individual flowers of the female plant are hand picked, sorted and dried. The stigmas are them removed by hand. 200,000 stigmas to 1kg of saffron. At 3 stigmas a plant thats a lot of saffron bulbs.
