Freesia Bulbs

About

Freesia Bulbs Native to South Africa, Freesia is a genus of 16 species with many hybrids and cultivars of flowering, herbaceous perennial corms. Each bulb sprouts a fountain of spikey green, slender leaves that look great all growing season long! Technically, Freesia grows from bulb-like structures called corms (swollen underground portions of the stem). The corms are round and squat, from which the roots and leaves emerge. The tubular 6-petaled flowers have a spicy, peppery sweet fragrance, perfect for floral design and bouquets! With long flowering spires lined with trumpet-shaped flowers that stand atop elegant tapering stems, Freesia are beloved for their sweet scent and wonderfully petite size! How To Use Freesia In Your Garden Easy to grow perennials, these are favorites in bouquets, and containers, and are great Pollinator plants! Tuck a few of these space-saving perennial bulbs in your mixed Perennial borders and Cottage gardens! They are an elegant and delightful addition to flower arrangements that will last for several weeks! The stalks are free of foliage, allowing the blooms to add a clean and elegant look to bouquets . The vibrant blooms are incredibly powerful and illuminating, making this flower hard to miss. You can make quite a dramatic impact on your landscaping by planting groupings, rows, or mass plantings of low-maintenance Freesia in your garden. Freesia need lots of warmth and humidity, so planting them along your foundation, or in a sunny mailbox garden will be the perfect spot to keep them happy! They'll act as fringy edging along your paths and walkways, or perfume the front of the garden border as a fragrant finishing touch! Add bold color to planters and porch pots in the sun! These smaller accent plants rarely grow taller or wider than 2 feet, making them ideal container specimens, and patio containers, while also adding color and perfume to seating area planters, hanging baskets, and window boxes.
