Re: Saffron (crocus)
Nothing compares to the rich scent of saffron. Are the stamens when steeped in warm water or milk very aromatic? I have my fingers crossed for you.

Re: Saffron (crocus)
Yes it gave a very rich color in water and a mild aroma as tested with three stamens only.

plants so shall wait for more flowers.
Medium : silty sand
No compost
No manure (except a little in One )
No fertilizer etc.
