Description
DESCRIPTION: Freesias are popular, fragrant flowers known for their vibrant colors and delicate, funnel-shaped blooms. They are part of the Iridaceae family and are native to southern Africa, though they are now widely cultivated around the world. Freesias come in various colors, including white, yellow, pink, red, purple, and blue, and their flowers typically have a lovely, sweet fragrance, making them popular in bouquets and floral arrangements. Freesias can be either single-flowered, with flowers made up of six slightly overlapping tepals, or double-flowered, with more intricate, fuller blooms. They are often grown from corms, which are bulb-like structures that store nutrients for the plant. Freesias are known for their graceful, slender stems, which typically reach 30-45 cm in height. They bloom in the spring and early summer, adding a burst of color to gardens and homes. When growing freesias, they prefer well-drained, light soil and full sunlight. They should be planted in the fall in warmer climates, or in spring after the last frost in cooler areas. Regular watering is needed, but the soil should be allowed to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot. Freesias also benefit from occasional feeding with a balanced fertilizer to encourage healthy growth and abundant blooms. These flowers are commonly used in floral arrangements due to their elegance and fragrance, and their long-lasting blooms make them a favorite for cut flowers. Freesias are also beloved for their symbolic meaning—representing friendship, trust, and innocence.
PACKAGE: The package contains 30 Freesia bulbs in a mix; the bulbs have a circumference of 5/6 cm (approximately 2 cm in diameter). The package includes a beautiful illustrative photo, along with information on planting and flowering—making it an excellent gift idea as well.
HOW TO GROW: Plant the corms at a slight angle, always with the tip facing upwards, about 3 cm deep, either in pots or in open ground. The distance between each corm should be about 3-5 cm. Ensure you use light, well-draining soil, typically medium-textured. Drainage is crucial. The exposure should be full sun. Plant the corms between September and December for spring flowering (March to May), or from February to May to get flowering between July and September, although the exact timing may vary depending on the variety and climatic conditions.
SELECTION AND QUALITY: The bulbs come with a phytosanitary passport and undergo a strict quality control process to ensure splendid blooms from the first year.
