Multiple Ship Dates
Your credit card will be charged for the full amount of your order at the time your order is submitted, regardless of the shipping time for your items. If your order requires multiple shipping dates, you will never be charged more than once for shipping charges. This allows us to ship your non-seasonal items to you as soon as possible, as well as allocate our seasonal product for your order.
For example, a customer places an order in February consisting of 5 Pounds of Wildflower Mix and 50 Darwin Hybrid Tulip Bulbs. The order would be charged in full upon submission, the seed would be shipped immediately, and the bulbs would be shipped at the optimal time in the autumn based on the customer's zip code.

About Safflower Seeds - Corrales Azafran
Carthamus tinctorius
Safflower is an ancient and versatile crop, treasured for its many uses and rich history. Once a significant crop in Egypt, Greece, China, and Spain, it was later introduced to New Mexico. Highly adaptable, safflower serves as a saffron substitute, with its flowers used as a coloring spice, dried for tea, or processed into a deep orangish-red dye. The young plants provide tasty leafy greens, while the seeds can be pressed for oil. Additionally, its deep taproots make it an excellent natural soil breaker.
