Traditionally, Chinese medicine uses safflower to invigorate the blood and aid in delayed menses, or other conditions requiring increased blood flow. Contraindicated for pregnancy and for people using blood thinners. Plants can reach 3 to 4 feet in a season in rich soil and will branch with multiple thistle like bright reddish–orange blooms in mid-summer.Annual. Hardy to Zone 10.		Price: $4.95 Quantity:

A Note about Shipping Rates:

We apologize for the slight increase in shipping rates, but the rise in fuel prices continues to affect all carriers and we believe that UPS is THE MOST dependable choice for delivering healthy plants as quickly as possible.

Occasionally, customers ask us about priority mail as a shipping option but due to our extremely rural location, our tiny post office is simply not equipped to handle our shipping volume and it has been our experience that USPS is simply not as dependable for prompt and safe plant delivery.

We ship well established, healthy plants and we want them to look that way when they arrive at your doorstep and we truly believe that fast, efficient shipping is a worthwhile investment toward this goal.

Rates:

Our customers East of the Rocky Mountains must use UPS 3 Day Delivery to guarantee the arrival of healthy plants.

Remember To Include A Physical Address For UPS Delivery. No PO Boxes.

Please remember the minimum order is 6 plants, in any combination (for larger orders of over 12 plants, check with us by email or phone and we will give you a shipping quote).
