Our 9/10 cm saffron bulbs are a quality planting size perfect for home gardeners who want to grow their own saffron and establish a beautiful, productive perennial patch.

These mature saffron corms are large enough to produce flowers in their first season after planting under favorable growing conditions. Each beautiful lavender-purple flower produces the prized crimson saffron threads used around the world as one of the most valuable culinary spices.

Once established, saffron crocus returns year after year and naturally multiplies underground, producing additional corms and creating the potential for larger harvests as your planting matures.

The 9/10 cm size is an excellent choice for gardeners who want to plant a larger number of bulbs at an affordable price while still starting with flowering-size saffron corms. They are well suited for garden beds, raised beds, borders, and containers.

Plant bulbs in late summer through early fall in well-drained soil. Choose a sunny location where water will not collect during winter. Water lightly after planting, then allow the bulbs to establish naturally.
