Add something truly special to your garden with this 10 pack of Crocus Sativus bulbs. Also known as the saffron crocus, this unique autumn flowering bulb produces beautiful lilac-purple flowers with distinctive red-orange stamens, which can be harvested to create your own saffron spice.
Unlike traditional spring-flowering crocuses, Crocus Sativus blooms in autumn, creating a welcome burst of colour as the gardening season begins to slow down. These elegant flowers are perfect for planting in borders, rockeries, herb gardens and patio containers, where their delicate blooms can be enjoyed up close.
Easy to grow and low maintenance, Crocus Sativus thrives in a sunny position with well-drained soil. Plant the bulbs in late summer or early autumn and enjoy their unusual flowers from September to October.
