No, the wild burdock is a different species (Arctium minus) and won’t hybridize with the larger-rooted domestic gobo.

I have a homestead in Northern New Mexico, elevation 7500′, Born and raised there, I know a lot about what is edible & medicinal in my forest. We have Burdock growing around a lot of our creeks and rivers, but I would love to have my own patch close to the house. If I plant your seeds, will it pollinate with the Burdock growing in the wild and create a different plant and or result? Thanks again!

Hello Norma, Yes, of course Saffron is a very significant cash crop worldwide. In order to learn how to grow it and make as little investment as possible, the best approach is to get a few bulbs, plant them, learn from the plant, and keep propagating and dividing until you have a large enough population to produce a significant amount of saffron spice. It could take years. There is no time to start like–now. Richo

Well, I hope this works out for you. I suggest that your cousin plant the saffron according to directions given. If the bulbs sprout in the refrigerator and are stored there for some time until December, then they will probably be no good. Richo

They will be planted in the higlands of Ecuador in early december. I asked my cousin to store saffron inside his refrigerator… until I can bring them to my country in early december. We dont get any snow here. Is that ok? Any suggestions?
