Freesia

Funnel-shaped freesia flowers are sweetly-scented and available in single- and double-flowered varieties. Hybrids offer a big range of gorgeous colors – lavender, pink, orange, red, yellow, white and bicolors. Surrounding the flower stems are long, strap-like leaves. Freesia bulbs are actually corms, and are easy to force into bloom. Start planting freesia in late summer or early fall for winter or early-spring blooms.

Site: When in full bloom, keep freesias in a bright location out of direct sun to prolong the bloom.

Temperature: 60-65°F. Water: Water minimally until you see new

growth.
