Freesia is a genus of herbaceous perennial flowering crops in the family Iridaceae, first described as a genus in 1866 by Chr. Fr. Echlon (1795-1868) and called after German botanist and doctor Friedrich Freese (1794-1878). It is local to the eastern area of southern Africa, from Kenya south to South Africa, most varieties being found in Cape Provinces. Types of the ex - genus Anomatheca are actually included in Freesia. The crops often called "freesias", with fragrant funnel-shaped blossoms, are cultivated hybrids of lots of Freesia types. Some other kinds are also cultivated as ornamental plant life.
They are really herbaceous crops which increase from a conical corm 1-2.5 cm size, which sends up a tuft of thin leaves 10-30 cm long, and a sparsely branched stem 10-40 cm large bearing a few leaves and a loose one-sided spike of blooms with six tepals. Many types have fragrant narrowly funnel-shaped plants, although those previously positioned in the genus Anomatheca, such as F. laxa, have chiseled flowers. Freesias are used as food crops by the larvae of some Lepidoptera kinds including Large Yellowish Underwing.
CULTIVATION AND USES
The plants usually called "freesias" are derived from crosses manufactured in the 19th hundred years between F. refracta and F. leichtlinii. Numerous cultivars have been bred from these kinds and the pink- and yellow-flowered types of F. corymbosa. Modern tetraploid cultivars have bouquets ranging from white to yellow, pink, red and blue-mauve. These are mostly cultivated professionally in holland by about 80 growers.[3] Freesias can be immediately increased from seed. Because of their specific and pleasing scent, they are generally used in hands creams, shampoos, candles, etc.[citation needed], however, the plants are mainly utilized in wedding bouquets. They can be planted in the street to redemption in USDA Hardiness Areas 9-10 (i.e. where the temperature will not fall below about -7 ?C (20 ?F)), and in the springtime in Zones 4-8.
Freesia laxa (previously called Lapeirousia laxa or Anomatheca cruenta) is one of the other types of the genus which is commonly cultivated. Smaller than the scented freesia cultivars, it includes flat somewhat than cup-shaped bouquets. Extensive 'forcing' of this bulb occurs in Half Moon Bay in California where several growers chill the light bulbs in proprietary methods to satisfy frigid dormancy which results in creation of buds within the predicted number of weeks - often 5 weeks at 55 ?F (13 ?C).
Herbaceous plant life (in botanical use frequently simply herbs) are vegetation that contain no consistent woody stem above floor. Herbaceous vegetation may be annuals, biennials or perennials. Total annual herbaceous plants perish completely by the end of the growing season or when they have got flowered and fruited, and they then expand again from seed. Herbaceous perennial and biennial plant life may have stems that pass away by the end of the growing season, but elements of the plant endure under or near to the ground from season to season (for biennials, before next growing season, when they rose and perish). New progress builds up from living tissues left over on or under the bottom, including root base, a caudex (a thickened portion of the stem at ground level) or numerous kinds of underground stems, such as bulbs, 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. By contrast, non-herbaceous perennial plants are woody crops that have stems above surface that continue to be alive during the dormant season and expand shoots another time from the above-ground parts - these include trees and shrubs, shrubs and vines.
