$0.00
Yes it’s pokey, but it’s also saffron-like!
Carthamus tinctorius
(Safflower)
Variety: Lorenzo Trussoni
Annual| Height: 2-3 ft.
This safflower is a local strain. Lorenzo Trussoni brought this variety from Italy to Geneo, and it grows there still today. The petals either dried or fresh are a wonderful saffron substitute. Note, the plants are thistle-like and extremely pokey.
First purchased in November 2022 for the 2023 growing season. Growing this again.
