How many seeds does a safflower have?

Safflower is a thistlelike plant with a strong central branch stem, a varying number of branches and a taproot system. Each branch usually will have from one to five flower heads containing 15 to 20 seeds per head. The seed oil content ranges from 30 to 50%, depending on variety grown and environmental conditions.

Is safflower a good crop to grow in recharge areas?

Safflower is similar to barley in tolerance to saline soils. Safflower is an excellent crop to grow in recharge areas because its taproot system can access surplus water below the rooting depth of small grains and utilize the water during its full growing season.
