 Freesia, Iridaceae – Bulk Flowerbulbs in Packs
c

Bulk Bulbs come in a Display Box with Color Photo.
Each Box holds $17.00 Freesia, Iridaceae Bulbs.

Their fragrance is heavenly. Freesia Flowers are one of the most fragrant flowers. The modern Freesia is so well known, particularly as one of the most popular of all cut flowers, that no introduction is necessary. This blooming beauty captures your heart and is a springtime favorite. Freesia Flowers are born as loose one-sided spikes of narrowly funnel-shaped flowers along a side few leaves. The tender, cormous plant, Freesia originated in South Africa. The leaves on Freesia are sword shaped and light green and may be up to 1 feet high. Freesia Flower stalks are slender and about the same height. As many as 8 funnel-shaped Freesia flowers form a loose cluster at the top of each stalk. Where the flowers begin, the stem makes a sharp bend so that the Freesia flowers face upward.

 

Planting instructions: Plant freesia corms 2 inches deep and 4 inches apart in a sunny location once the soil is workable in the spring. The fragrant, funnel-shaped blossoms will provide color in late summer or they may be started indoors in late winter for container blossoms in the spring. The corms should be planted close–six will do nicely in a 5 inch pot. Soil should be light and should drain well. Place the top of the corm 1 inch below the soil. For winter flowers, plant them in late summer or early fall and keep them cool until frosts are due. At this time bring them in and keep them in a sunny window. They need full sun and cool night temperatures, preferably between 40 and 45 degrees. Keep the plants well watered while leaves and flowers are developing. When the leaves begin to brown after the flowers have faded, the plants may be gradually dried off and the corms saved for the following year.

100 Corms per Display Box - $0.17 per Bulb
