The saffron plant prefers to grow best in full sun and does not do well in shade. Saffron is grown from bulbs or corms as they are called which are the underground swollen stems. A single corm produces up to 10 corm lets that are used to grow new plant in the next growing season. The planting depth and spacing between corms along with the weather determine the yield of saffron. As a rule, deeper planted corms produce higher quality saffron but fewer cormlets-the corm off springs.
Saffron quality is dependent on the color, taste, aroma as well as the floral waste (the non stigma content) and ash content of saffron. Adulteration of saffron has a long history so it is best not to buy powdered saffron but to go for the one with whole strands.
