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.

Sadly, DNF
Format: Kindle
I read this thru KU. I LOVED the synopsis. And then I began reading... and it was a DNF at 68% after picking it up and putting it down several times because I really loved the main female character. *****SPOILERS***** Pros: The world is unique, intriguing and fun. The primary female character is bad-a** but not a b*tech or a mary sue. The primary female has depth. I really want to know what happens to her even tho it's been weeks and I don't remember her name. The villains to the point I read are pretty good -- an ever present threat of mysterious and possibly many culprits. Cons: Way, way too many points of view. I stopped counting at 7. It's the prime reason why I don't care about most of the characters or remember their names even when I like them. There's just too many points of view so almost none of the characters have enough book space for the author to properly develop them. This literally killed the book for me. Actually it killed my desire to read. For weeks. The main male is more villain than hero. He agreed to marry the main female then locks her up & eschews her for her sister, all while bad mouthing her as unfit to rule when he never spent any time with her getting to know her. He is actually unfit to rule as he is blind to the woes of his own kingdom and starts off a peace mission to secure a ceasefire through marriage by murdering an inn full of people in her country for no real reason. Plus, he constantly makes promises he does not keep. And it's gross of him to pine for the sister behind the main female's back. ***** As much as I really wanted to see what happened to the main female character, it wasn't enough for me to keep trying to slog thru this book. There was a lot of potential here that just fell short. Hence, 3 stars.

Fae Courts with High Intrigue
Format: Kindle
This book is one that just builds and builds and then surprises you to no end. You may think you know the villains and then you are jolted in another direction. Princess Reyna is a real gem, strong of character, a fierce fighter, and loyal to her family and kingdom. Just when you think she and Lorcan, well you know, the plot is flipped. Can't wait to see where this goes in book two.

Slow, sorry but good
Format: Kindle
This was a slow moving book. Lots of character pov chapters, lots of superfluous descriptions and endless courtly appearances stalled this book to start. Once you get into the heart of the story, it takes off. Before you know it the book is done. My favorite character is Reyna. She is so strong. She is true to herself. She gets into a lot of trouble with her headstrong ways but it's entertaining. I have high hopes for Lorcan. He is honorable to a fault. Thane had turned out to be better than I thought but i still don't like him. Eislin is useless. Great plot twists at the end. I'm looking forward too book 2.

Very detailed! Beautiful world building! Strong Heroine!
Format: Kindle
Starts off a little slow and confusing with different POV’s, but starts to all come together towards the middle to make an elaborate plot line and makes it all worth it. Beautiful world building and attention to detail as well as great writing. The cliffhanger was gut wrenching! Can’t wait for the next book!

Interesting
Format: Kindle
This was a very captivating book once you got into it thoroughly. But the third person perspective was a bit hard to get used to. But as you got into it and followed the different characters, it was interesting and filled with intrigue, conflict and forbidden love. I can’t wait to read the next one and to complete the series.
