Freesia

Freesia – fragrance, colour and ornamental value in one flower

Freesia is a South African bulbous plant that is loved worldwide in cut flower cultivation. The plant produces clusters of elegant flowers on one side of an arching stem, with a scent that is immediately recognisable. They flower in a wide spectrum of colours and are available as single or double flowered cultivars.

Freesia grows best in light, airy soil in a sheltered, sunny spot. Professional growers usually use greenhouse or tunnel cultivation to extend the growing season and maximise quality. In colder climates, freesia is not winter hardy, but as a spring bulb under glass or in a pot, it performs excellently.

Application:

• Cut flower cultivation under glass

• Pot production for patio or sale

• Fragrant accents in bouquets and arrangements

• Smaller plantings for patio or balcony
