Cartamus

Cartamus, also known as 'wild' or 'Turkish saffron', is a plant of the aster family. It is used as a yellow natural dye. Carthamus can also be grown on dry soils where sunflowers are no longer successful. Cartamus is an ornamental flower. Dyeing flares are used to cut into dry weaves for a wide variety of flower colors ranging from white to shades of yellow, orange to red. For our customers, it becomes a very popular flower accessory in flower arrangements as well as Eryngium. You can find it in autumn bindings such as Autumn Color, November Romance, Autumn Poppies and others.
