Crocus sativus, are known to be one of the most valuable plants to grow, not only for their show-stopping garden performance and wonderful autumn colour, but the saffron spice (also known as red gold) which is harvested from the Crocus sativus flowers is worth more than its equivalent weight in gold!
By watering your saffron bulbs in spring, you’ll be helping the mother bulbs to reproduce plenty of strong daughter bulbs. You should continue watering until the foliage goes yellow in early summer for best results.
