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.

Handy to keep in your pocket for refreshing mouth
Size: 160 Count (Pack of 1)
Oracoat FreshMelt Stick-on are great if you have dry mouth. I use them when I go to church and they stick to the roof of my mouth and stay in place for close to 2 hrs. I have also used them at night when I wake up and can't seem to get my mouth refreshed with water.

The best, but also the most expensive
Size: 160 Count (Pack of 1)
These are the best dry mouth tabs I’ve found. They actually stick-on and last for hours. I struggle so much with dry mouth when I sleep and these have been the longest lasting. They are pretty expensive, which is why I gave them 4* instead of 5, but I haven’t found any that work better.

Huge Disappointment & Waste of $17.09
Size: 160 Count (Pack of 1)
I have been using "OraCoat XyliMelts Dry Mouth Relief Oral Adhering Discs Slightly Sweet with Xylitol" everynight for years. They work like a charm and I wake up feeling fresh and ready for the day. When I saw "Oracoat® FreshMelts® Fresh Breath Stick-on™ Melts" I was super excited. I was hoping they would be a little more minty and similiar to the XyliMelts, but saddly they are not. The Freshmelts do not have a good taste, something was just off with the flavor (chemical?). They did not help moisten my mouth like XyliMelts do. Adhering well is honestly the is only positive thing. Because the XyliMelts have been such an amazing product, I purchased the 160 count for $17.09 and I am unable to return them. I really expected more from Oracoat. I would NOT recommend this product.
