Dear Friend,
Where are you located and where is your land? Kesar (Botanical Name: Crocus sativus) can be grown only in high altitude areas-now mainly cultivated in Kashmir in India (Kashmir Saffron) and in Spain and surrounding areas (Spanish Saffron). But you can experiment by controlling the micro climate of your land area if it is not in high altitude area. If your land is in Ooty, Kodaikanal and similar high altitude areas, you can try to cultivate it.
Also, please note that there is a plant called Amercian Saffron, also called Dyer's Saffron, False Saffron, Safflower, Portuguese Saffron Fake Saffron, Flores Carthami, Bastard Saffron (Carthamus tinctorius) which is being referred as Poor Man's Kesar/Garibon Ka Kesar by some people and trying to fool people to believe that it is Saffron which it is not. American Saffron, as its names indicate is not Saffron (Kesar), it is a false saffron, and it is not related to Crocus sativus-the real Kesar (Spanish Saffron/Kashmir Saffron). American saffron is used as colouring/dyeing agent in food items and it has some medicinal value too-assisting digesting and intestinal cleansing.
So, if you want to cultivate real Saffron (Kesar-Crocus stivus) or the American saffron, we can supply planting materials and provide complete consultancy support for both crops. We have member farmers cultivating Kesar in Kashmir and farmers cultivating American Saffron in other parts of India and can get direct supply from them.
