Interesting facts

 

The safflower's flower color resembles saffron, which explains its nickname “false saffron”. Historically, the safflower was cultivated for the red dye carthamin, while today it is primarily grown for oil production. The ancient Egyptians also used safflower’s coloring properties to dye mummy cloths.

 

Safflower grows quickly to a final height of up to 1.30 meters. Its leaves are thorny, and the flower resembles a small basket from which up to 150 orange-yellow tubular florets emerge.
