Freesia is a spring flowering bulb with a delicious
fragrance and one of the best bulbs for warm climates.
Suitable for mass-planting and very attractive as clumps or
in rockeries.
The bell-like flowers are originally creamy white, but many
colours are now available. The range includes yellow, orange,
rosy-red, ruby, blue and nurseries usually have mixed colours
for sale as well.
Growing
Best grown in a sunny position but will do well under trees
or shrubs as long as they are not too shaded.
Corms should be planted in autumn in a friable and well drained
soil that is prepared with a measure of mixed fertiliser. Plant
to a depth of 7cm and the same distance apart. You can leave
the corms permanently in the ground for several years, or lift
them after the plant has died for storing and replanting.
