Discover the beauty and value of Saffron Crocus (Crocus sativus) with our premium bulbs. Each bulb is 9/10 to 10+ cm in circumference, carefully selected for strength, health, and high flowering potential. With 3 years of growth, these mature bulbs are ready to reward you with abundant saffron blooms and rich red stigmas.

Saffron crocus (Crocus sativus), known as the source of the luxurious spice "red gold," is an extraordinary plant that offers both beauty and value. Growing saffron requires a bit of care, but the rewards are well worth it.

Planting Saffron Crocus Corms

  • Soil Preparation: Use a well-draining mix of potting soil, perlite/sand, a bit of vermicompost/compost, and a moderate amount of fertilizer. The soil should be fluffy and not clump when compressed.
  • Planting Depth: Plant corms 4 inches deep and 4 inches apart.
  • Sunlight: Saffron plants thrive in full sun. Position the pots or ground beds where they won't receive water from sprinklers, as the corms need dry conditions.
  • Protection: Protect the corms from rodents by using wire mesh or by planting them in containers or raised beds.
  • Watering: Water the corms only when planting them in pre-moistened soil; no additional watering is needed until growth appears in fall.

Growth and Bloom

  • Bloom Timing: Flowers usually appear 6-8 weeks after planting, typically from mid-October to mid-December, often coinciding with the cold front. Bloom lasts about 3 weeks.
  • Observation: The flowers may emerge alone or with grass-like leaves. Look for a white semi-transparent stalk as an early sign of blooming. Harvest the flowers early in the morning, as they bloom and fade within a few hours.

Dormancy and Overwintering

  • Dormancy: After blooming, the corms go dormant in summer, but they will re-emerge in fall. The leaves may also reappear in spring without blooming.
  • Cold Climates: In colder regions, dig up the corms and store them in sand or dry peat moss at 40-50°F. Replant them in early spring, but avoid watering until fall growth.

Harvesting and Using Saffron

  • Harvesting: Each flower produces three red stigmas, the precious saffron strands. Store the flowers in the refrigerator to keep them fresh.
  • Usage: Saffron can be used fresh or dried. To use, soak the strands in hot milk or water, then crush to release the golden color, perfect for garnishing dishes like basmati rice or pilaf.

By following these steps, you can successfully grow and harvest your own saffron, enjoying both the visual beauty of the flowers and the culinary richness of the spice.

Not very durable
It took my dog less than 5 minutes to chew off one side of handle. The rest of the ball seems to be durable with him chewing and playing with it. Very disappointing since wanted to use the handle for tug a war with dog.

A Jolly Ball - A Treat Ball!
Color: Red + Yellow
In the past, I got my girls a doggie jolly ball. They played with that thing until they tore it apart! I've also gotten them several different, but similar, treat balls over the years. Fast forward to present! I found the best of both worlds! A Jolly Treat Ball! Upon receiving these two balls, first, I was so glad to find that they didn't stink! Literally, no terrible smell! YAY! Second, the jolly treat balls are durable. I placed a large treat in each of the balls and handed them over. Each girl took the ball by the handle and pranced to their desired location to devour their treat! Devour, they did... NOT! Because of the durability and construction of these balls, it took them a good 5 minutes to fully get each morsel of their large cookie! YAY! Once emptied, I asked them to bring it. They each picked up their ball, by the handle and brought it to me. Too cute - they each got just one more treat! Now that they've utilized their jolly treat ball I have yet to see a single tooth mark in the ball. It has withstood their chewing to release the treat and hasn't been marred or scarred by their strong teeth. I've also had the opportunity; after each use, to wash the jolly treat balls. They even withstand a scrubby to get them cleaned! If I could, this "Durable Dog Chew Ball Toy" would get 10 stars! I'm one happy dog momma!
