Safflower is a hardy, drought-tolerant annual known for its vibrant, thistle-like orange and yellow flowers. Often grown for its seeds, which are used in cooking oils and bird feed, Safflower also adds a striking pop of color to wildflower and pollinator gardens.
Unique Qualities:
Growing Season:
Safflower thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Sow seeds outdoors in early spring, as Safflower does not transplant well. Minimal watering is required once established, making it an excellent choice for dry regions.
Time to Bloom:
Expect blooms approximately 12-16 weeks after planting. With its long-lasting flowers, Safflower adds color and texture from midsummer to early fall
