Origin and Cultivation of Crocus

Crocus is obtained from the flowers of Crocus sativus, a bulbous perennial plant. The plant grows to a height of about 20-30 cm with branches having 3-4 purple or cream colored flowers. From these flowers arise the Crocus stigmas, commonly known as threads, which are picked by hand and then dried. The Crocus plant is native to Southwest Asia including parts of Iran and India. It needs a drier warm climate to grow and much care and manual labor is required in its cultivation. The Crocus flower has 3 stigmas which are the source of the spice. It takes around 150,000 flowers to yield just 1 pound of dry Crocus, making it the world's most expensive spice. Nations like Iran, India, Greece, Spain etc are major producers of Crocus cultivated organically in small farms.
