Anne points out (and I stand corrected:
>> I would think that anyone living in an area conducive to growing saffron
crocus should purchase a half dozen bulbs. With a few years of attentive
gardening, they will have multiplied into a couple of dozen bulbs, enough for
an impressively saffroned dish in SCA quantities at an important event. Those
with the right climate and like-minded friends could probably grow enough to
make their locals despise any yellow food.
So, what is the right climate?<<
The Sunset Western Garden Book shows crocuses (including the Saffron Crocus)
as being able to grow in all *western* zones. This being the case, I have
talked my mom out of yet more of her garden space to try this.
My question is, where can one get saffron crocus bulbs or plants?
