Crocus ligusticus is a perennial plant from the Iridaceae family, known for its saffron-like appearance. Its name is derived from the Chaldean word for saffron and its distribution area in Liguria, Italy. This plant has a corm and grass-like leaves that grow up to 30 centimetres in height. Its pale purple flowers bloom in autumn and are characterized by three anthers with yellow-orange pollen and bright red stigmas. Crocus ligusticus is slightly toxic due to its alkaloid content. It is native to Liguria and the southern Maritime Alps in France and Italy, and can be found in mountain environments at altitudes of 600-1,700 metres. It has been awarded the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
