Care Information
In the garden
- Freesias are a corm as opposed to a bulb, and can be planted outside from April - May. Plant straight into the ground, pointy end upwards, in a well-drained spot in sun or light shade.
- Growing plants benefit from a potash-rich feed.
In containers
- Plant six bulbs 1-2in deep. Use a good quality compost with a little extra grit for drainage.
- Water regularly and keep them moist (but not soaking) and shaded at all times – a cold greenhouse or conservatory is ideal.
- Once the corms start to sprout, move the pots into full sunlight and keep watering. When the buds show colour, you can bring them indoors.
- After flowering cut off faded blooms and continue to water and feed until the foliage begins to brown, then cease watering.
- A period of at least eight weeks of growth is required to encourage offsets. If growing on for a second year the foliage needs to dry off by early July.
