Description
Safflower (Carthamus Tinctorius Yellow) - This unique annual is a native to the Mediterranean. It is well-suited to sunny, hot conditions. Easily grown from Safflower seeds, this thistle-like plant produces lovely yellow, tubular flower heads during the summer months. The yellow Safflower plant has foliage that is thistle-like, but the prickliness is mild. The Carthamus Tinctorius cut flower is excellent for preserving and drying. Once dried the Carthamus flower is considered to be an everlasting. Considered to be an herb plant, the Safflower herb provides a source of red or yellow dyes for coloring silk and wool. The Carthamus herb can be used as a saffron substitute in rice dishes. Commercially, it is important as a source of good quality cooking oil.
