FAQs

Is this the saffron crocus?
No—‘Flower Record’ is a spring-flowering Dutch crocus (Crocus vernus). Saffron crocus (Crocus sativus) flowers in autumn and is grown for saffron threads.

Can I grow it in pots?
Yes—plant closely for a dense display and ensure excellent drainage.

Will it come back each year?
In suitable climates and well-drained soil, it can return and often multiplies over time.
