FAQs

Q1 — How and when should I plant the saffron bulbs?
Plant bulbs in August–September in Pakistan. Choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Plant each bulb 8–12 cm apart and 8–12 cm deep (crown 4–6 cm below soil surface, soil tamped lightly). Water after planting to settle the soil, then reduce watering — saffron needs a dry rest after foliage dies back.

Q2 — When will I see flowers and harvest saffron?
Flowers appear in October–November. Harvest the red stigmas (threads) early morning on the day flowers open. Carefully pick stigmas and dry them gently (shade or low-heat dehydrator) before storage. If planted in the recommended time, most gardeners get their first harvest the same autumn, though yields typically increase in subsequent years.

Q3 — How should I care for the bulbs during the year?
• Keep soil well-drained and avoid waterlogging.
• Moderate watering during growth; allow a dry period after leaves die back.
• Apply bulb or general-purpose fertilizer in early spring if soil is poor.
• Every 3–4 years lift and divide crowded corms in late spring to maintain vigour.

Q4 — How do I store harvested saffron threads?
Dry threads completely, then store in an airtight, opaque container in a cool, dark place. Avoid moisture and direct light—properly stored saffron keeps aroma and color for many months.
