Saffron (Crocus sativus) is grown from corms, not seed — each corm produces a flower whose deep-red stigmas are hand-harvested to make the world's most valuable spice by weight. These are A Grade corms, 10–15 g each, best suited to cool-winter regions with well-draining soil and a defined dormant season, though hobby growers in warmer plains have had success with pot cultivation and refrigerated pre-chilling.

Frequently Asked Questions
These are A Grade saffron corms (a type of bulb), not seeds. Saffron does not reliably grow true from seed — corms are the standard way to propagate it.
Each corm weighs 10–15 g, graded A for reliable flowering performance.
Plant from July to September, ahead of the autumn flowering season. Corms need a cool dormant period to flower well, so results are best in regions with defined winters.
Flowers typically appear October–November. Harvest the red stigmas by hand as soon as each flower opens, ideally in the morning.
No — saffron corms are a seasonal product, available for approximately 6 months of the year around the planting window. Order ahead during the season to avoid missing out.
Yes — each corm produces several "daughter" cormlets over 3–4 years. Lift and divide the clump every 3–4 years to maintain flowering vigour.
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place out of direct sunlight until ready to plant. Avoid sealed plastic bags, which can cause rot.
