Saffron is a drought-tolerant plant, suitable for growing in areas where the minimum temperature in winter is not lower than - 20 ℃, and the maximum temperature in summer is not higher than - 35 ℃ and the climate is dry. Due to the restrictions of water, soil and climate conditions, in addition to Iran, a large number of plants can be planted in Greece, India and Spain, but the quality of saffron is far inferior to that of Iran.
Saffron is planted in August every year, and can be harvested after 3 years, and can be harvested for 8 to 10 years in succession. After that, the yield will be lower and lower, and crocus can no longer be planted in the planted land. Because the flowering period of saffron is only 15 to 20 days, the sunlight will make the picked stamens wither, and the quality will decline, so we need to collectively harvest before sunrise.
Its picking period is at the beginning of September every year. At this time, the planting area of Horasan Province is full of purple flowers. Saffron is not these flowers, but the female stamens of flowers. Generally, each flower has only 3 female stamens, and only 10 grams of superior saffron products can be produced per 1000 grams of original saffron flowers.
