Kashmiri Saffron Bulb – Rich Flavor & Deep Red Stigmas

The Kashmiri Saffron Bulb (Crocus sativus) is considered one of the finest saffron varieties in the world, prized for its deep red stigmas, intense aroma, and unmatched flavor. Known as “Zafran” in the region, it has a strong cultural and culinary value. Each bulb produces purple blooms in autumn, with vivid red threads carefully harvested for use in cooking, tea, and traditional medicine. In Pakistan, Kashmiri saffron bulbs are best planted in September–October, and flowers bloom in November–December. Thriving in cool climates, well-drained soil, and full sun, these bulbs are ideal for pots, spice gardens, and borders.
