    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.
