Facts About Freesia

The iris family includes Freesia, a herbaceous flowering plant. It is native to South Africa’s tropical regions. Well-drained sandy or stony soil is ideal for growing freesia.

They are frequently used as cut flowers in various floral arrangements, and their beautiful, rich aroma makes them an excellent choice.
 
An upright, somewhat branching stem can grow up to 16 inches tall in Freesia.

It grows from the corm, a subterranean stem that resembles a solid bulb in appearance.

The leaves of freesia are long, slender, and sword-shaped. The tufts are organized in a symmetrical fashion (that can reach up to 12 inches in height). Until the fall, the leaves are a pale green. At that time, they begin to wilt and die (Before winter all parts of the plant above the ground die).

The blooming stem of the freesia is topped with a spike of funnel-shaped blooms, which can range from 5 to 10 in number (though 8 is most common). Because the blooming stalk bends horizontally following the creation of the flowers, the blossoms are orientated upwards. Flowers often endure for seven days. Single and double flowers are both possible on Freesia.

This flowering shrub is capable of producing a wide range of colors in addition to the traditional white and pink varieties as well as more exotic hues like mauve, purple, and even crimson. Their aroma is pleasant, lemony or soapy. Color affects the intensity of the fragrance, which in turn affects the aroma’s intensity. The strongest aroma is given out by pink and red freesias (which are the brightest types).

During the spring, freesia blooms. Flowers can only develop if the temperature is below 21 degrees Celsius. This plant is pollinated by bees attracted to the plant’s brightly colored, intensely perfumed blossoms.

The freesia fruit is a warty capsule containing a glossy, roundish seed.

Seed and corm division are the main means of propagation for freesia.
