From our crop reference

Saffron is a spice crop, grown in the rabi season. Sow it in Aug–Sep and expect to harvest in 90–110 days. It wants a pH of 6.0–8.0 (close to neutral) and 10–22°C. Plant at 20 × 10 cm, allowing 6–8 t corms of seed per hectare. A good crop returns around 3–5 kg. Watch for corm rot, mite.
