The domesticated saffron crocus, Crocus sativus, is an autumn-flowering perennial plant unknown in the wild. It probably descends from the eastern Mediterranean autumn-flowering Crocus cartwrightianus, which is also known as wild saffron .

  • Apply a high-potassium liquid fertilizer every 2 weeks from early spring until 6 weeks after flowering.

    Kesar care

  • Loosen the soil to a depth of 12 to 15 inches.
