Description
Safflower is an
annual broadleaf plant in the aster family that produces rounded yellow or
reddish-orange flower heads and rosettes of branched leaves, like a thistle.
Sometimes used as a substitute for saffron, hence it is also known as Bastard
Saffron. They are a common additive in tea blends as they add a vibrant pop of
color.
