Carthamus Zanzibar has a striking appearance, with fiery orange thistle-like flowers and dark green leaves.

Zanzibar has sturdy, well-branched stems that are 80 to 100 cm long.

It can be sown both indoors and outdoors, thanks to its good weather resistance.

For outdoor cultivation it is recommended to grow under a tunnel.

Sowing can take place consecutively from late winter to late summer, for a long harvest period from early summer to mid-autumn.

Zanzibar is very uniform in plant structure and flowering time.

Cultivation period: 10 to 14 weeks, depending on sowing time.

Zanzibar combines well with Carthamus White Grenade and Kinko, both of which flower about a week earlier than Zanzibar.

This versatile Carthamus is suitable for fresh and dried bouquets, and can also be harvested green at an earlier stage.

Height: 90 cm (36″).
