Freesia is a genus of herbaceous perennial flowering vegetation in the family Iridaceae, first described as a genus in 1866 by Chr. Fr. Echlon (1795-1868) and known as after German botanist and doctor Friedrich Freese (1794-1878). It is native to the eastern side of southern Africa, from Kenya south to South Africa, most kinds being within Cape Provinces. Types of the former genus Anomatheca are now contained in Freesia. The vegetation commonly known as "freesias", with fragrant funnel-shaped flowers, are cultivated hybrids of lots of Freesia kinds. Some other species are also grown as ornamental plants.
They are herbaceous vegetation which expand from a conical corm 1-2.5 cm diameter, which delivers up a tuft of thin leaves 10-30 cm long, and a sparsely branched stem 10-40 cm high bearing a few leaves and a loose one-sided spike of bouquets with six tepals. Many varieties have fragrant narrowly funnel-shaped blooms, although those formerly placed in the genus Anomatheca, such as F. laxa, have toned flowers. Freesias are used as food vegetation by the larvae of some Lepidoptera types including Large Yellowish Underwing.
CULTIVATION AND USES
The plant life usually called "freesias" derive from crosses made in the 19th hundred years between F. refracta and F. leichtlinii. Numerous cultivars have been bred from these kinds and the green- and yellow-flowered kinds of F. corymbosa. Modern tetraploid cultivars have bouquets which range from white to yellow, pink, red and blue-mauve. They can be mostly cultivated expertly in the Netherlands by about 80 growers.[3] Freesias can be readily increased from seed. Because of the specific and desirable scent, they are often used in palm creams, shampoos, candles, etc.[citation needed], however, the bouquets are mainly utilized in wedding bouquets. They could be planted in the fall season in USDA Hardiness Zones 9-10 (i.e. where the temperature does not fall below about -7 ?C (20 ?F)), and in the spring and coil in Areas 4-8.
Freesia laxa (formerly called Lapeirousia laxa or Anomatheca cruenta) is one of the other varieties of the genus which is often cultivated. Smaller than the scented freesia cultivars, it offers flat rather than cup-shaped blooms. Extensive 'forcing' of the bulb occurs in two Moon Bay in California where several growers chill the bulbs in proprietary solutions to satisfy chilly dormancy which results in formation of buds in a predicted amount of weeks - often 5 weeks at 55 ?F (13 ?C).
Herbaceous plant life (in botanical use frequently simply herbal remedies) are plant life that contain no consistent woody stem above surface. Herbaceous crops may be annuals, biennials or perennials. Annual herbaceous plants expire completely by the end of the growing season or when they have got flowered and fruited, and they then increase again from seed. Herbaceous perennial and biennial crops may have stems that die at the end of the growing season, but elements of the plant survive under or near to the ground from season to season (for biennials, until the next growing season, when they blossom and expire). New expansion produces from living tissues left over on or under the ground, including root base, a caudex (a thickened part of the stem at walk out) or various types of underground stems, such as bulbs, corms, stolons, rhizomes and tubers. Types of herbaceous biennials include carrot, parsnip and common ragwort; herbaceous perennials include potato, peony, hosta, mint, most ferns & most grasses. By contrast, non-herbaceous perennial vegetation are woody vegetation that have stems above surface that stay alive through the dormant season and grow shoots the next time from the above-ground parts - these include trees, shrubs and vines.
