Raising the Bar With Better Safflower Agronomy
Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) originated in the Near East and has been grown for centuries in China, India and North Africa. It is a multi-purpose species with many traditional uses. Preparations made from the florets are thought to benefit the circulatory system, whilst yellow and red dyes extracted from the florets were once used to colour food and clothing. Immature plants can be grazed or stored as hay or silage, and some forms are used in fresh or dried floral arrangements.
