This year I'm growing saffron crocus (Crocus sativus) for the first time. I purchased the 3 crocus bulbs from Diggers. Suprisingly, they were not that difficult to grow. In fact I just planted each bulb in a plastic pot and almost forgot about them. Then one day, the leaves poked through and a few weeks later, delicate purple flowers. I dried the stigmas and stored them away for later use.
