Where Can I Get Crocus Sativus Bulbs?
Crocus sativus, the saffron crocus, is a small, autumn-flowering plant that grows from a bulb-like corm. It is not a common plant, so a specialty plant nursery, botanical garden shop, or online/mail-order plant catalog source is needed to acquire corms. Does this Spark an idea?

Specialty Nursery
-
This crocus species is planted in late summer, so visit a reputable specialty plant nursery with knowledgeable staff in midsummer to ask if Crocus sativus corms will be available for sale soon. If not, ask if the business can order some on your behalf.
Botanical Garden
-
Contact or visit the garden shop at a botanical garden or arboretum to locate corms. Crocus sativus grows in mild but chilly winter climates, so if the botanical garden is in the tropics or a bitterly cold winter climate, the bulbs will not be sold.
