This plant is both versatile and visually striking with tufted thistle-like flowers on sturdy stems. The fiery orange-and-gold petals are not only captivating, but also tantalize the palate and are often used as a substitute for saffron. Also known as Zanzibar, this plant adds an exotic allure to any garden. For centuries, Safflower has been used as a natural fencing solution, known for its stiff and prickly foliage that effectively deters unwanted garden intruders.
