Freesia is a genus of herbaceous perennial flowering plants in the family Iridaceae, first referred to as a genus in 1866 by Chr. Fr. Echlon (1795-1868) and named after German botanist and doctor Friedrich Freese (1794-1878). It really is native to the eastern side of southern Africa, from Kenya south to South Africa, most kinds being within Cape Provinces. Kinds of the former genus Anomatheca are actually contained in Freesia. The vegetation often called "freesias", with fragrant funnel-shaped bouquets, are cultivated hybrids of a number of Freesia varieties. Some other types are also expanded as ornamental plant life.
They are simply herbaceous plants which increase from a conical corm 1-2.5 cm size, which directs up a tuft of narrow 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 blossoms with six tepals. Many species have fragrant narrowly funnel-shaped blooms, although those formerly placed in the genus Anomatheca, such as F. laxa, have smooth flowers. Freesias are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Large Yellow Underwing.
CULTIVATION AND USES
The vegetation usually called "freesias" derive from crosses manufactured in the 19th century between F. refracta and F. leichtlinii. Numerous cultivars have been bred from these kinds and the red- and yellow-flowered kinds of F. corymbosa. Modern tetraploid cultivars have bouquets ranging from white to yellowish, green, red and blue-mauve. They are really mostly cultivated skillfully in the Netherlands by about 80 growers.[3] Freesias can be immediately increased from seed. Due to their specific and attractive scent, they are generally used in hand ointments, shampoos, candles, etc.[citation needed], however, the plants are mainly used in wedding bouquets. They could be planted in the semester in USDA Hardiness Zones 9-10 (i.e. where the temperature does not fall below about -7 ?C (20 ?F)), and in the springtime in Zones 4-8.
Freesia laxa (formerly called Lapeirousia laxa or Anomatheca cruenta) is one of the other kinds of the genus which is commonly cultivated. Smaller than the scented freesia cultivars, they have flat alternatively than cup-shaped plants. Extensive 'forcing' of this bulb occurs in two Moon Bay in California where several growers chill the light bulbs in proprietary methods to satisfy cool dormancy which results in creation of buds in just a predicted volume of weeks - often 5 weeks at 55 ?F (13 ?C).
Herbaceous plants (in botanical use frequently simply natural remedies) are crops that contain no consistent woody stem above ground. Herbaceous crops may be annuals, biennials or perennials. Total annual herbaceous plants perish completely by the end of the growing season or when they may have flowered and fruited, plus they then develop again from seed. Herbaceous perennial and biennial vegetation may have stems that die at the end of the growing season, but elements of the plant make it through under or near the bottom from season to season (for biennials, until the next growing season, when they rose and expire). New development builds up from living cells staying on or under the bottom, including roots, a caudex (a thickened portion of the stem at ground level) or various types of underground stems, such as lights, corms, stolons, rhizomes and tubers. Examples of herbaceous biennials include carrot, parsnip and common ragwort; herbaceous perennials include potato, peony, hosta, mint, most ferns and most grasses. In comparison, non-herbaceous perennial vegetation are woody plant life that have stems above surface that remain alive through the dormant season and increase shoots another time from the above-ground parts - included in these are trees and shrubs, shrubs and vines.
