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 known as after German botanist and doctor Friedrich Freese (1794-1878). It really is local to the eastern aspect of southern Africa, from Kenya south to South Africa, most types being found in Cape Provinces. Types of the ex - genus Anomatheca are now contained in Freesia. The crops often called "freesias", with fragrant funnel-shaped bouquets, are cultivated hybrids of lots of Freesia kinds. Some other species are also grown up as ornamental vegetation.

They are really herbaceous vegetation which expand 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 bouquets with six tepals. Many species have fragrant narrowly funnel-shaped bouquets, although those previously positioned in the genus Anomatheca, such as F. laxa, have smooth flowers. Freesias are being used as food vegetation by the larvae of some Lepidoptera kinds including Large Yellowish Underwing.

CULTIVATION AND USES

The vegetation usually called "freesias" are derived from crosses manufactured in the 19th century between F. refracta and F. leichtlinii. Numerous cultivars have been bred from these kinds and the pink- and yellow-flowered varieties of F. corymbosa. Modern tetraploid cultivars have blossoms ranging from white to yellowish, pink, red and blue-mauve. These are mostly cultivated skillfully in the Netherlands by about 80 growers.[3] Freesias can be quickly increased from seed. Because of the specific and pleasing scent, they are generally used in side lotions, shampoos, candles, etc.[citation needed], however, the blossoms are mainly utilized in wedding bouquets. They can be planted in the show up in USDA Hardiness Zones 9-10 (i.e. where in fact the temperature will not show up below about -7 ?C (20 ?F)), and in the planting season in Zones 4-8.

Freesia laxa (previously called Lapeirousia laxa or Anomatheca cruenta) is one of the other species of the genus which is often cultivated. Smaller than the scented freesia cultivars, it offers flat alternatively than cup-shaped bouquets. Extensive 'forcing' of the bulb occurs in two Moon Bay in California where several growers chill the lights in proprietary methods to satisfy cool dormancy which results in creation of buds within a predicted variety of weeks - often 5 weeks at 55 ?F (13 ?C).

Herbaceous vegetation (in botanical use frequently simply herbal selections) are crops that contain no prolonged woody stem above surface. Herbaceous crops may be annuals, biennials or perennials. Annual herbaceous plants perish completely by the end of the growing season or when they may have flowered and fruited, and they then develop again from seed. Herbaceous perennial and biennial plant life may have stems that die at the end of the growing season, but elements of the plant survive under or close to the ground from season to season (for biennials, before next growing season, when they flower and die). New expansion produces from living tissue staying on or under the ground, including roots, a caudex (a thickened portion of the stem at ground level) or numerous kinds 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. By contrast, non-herbaceous perennial crops are woody plant life that have stems above floor that remain alive during the dormant season and develop shoots another time from the above-ground parts - included in these are trees, shrubs and vines.
