Freesia is a genus of herbaceous perennial flowering vegetation in the family Iridaceae, first referred to as a genus in 1866 by Chr. Fr. Echlon (1795-1868) and called 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 types being within Cape Provinces. Kinds of the past genus Anomatheca are actually contained in Freesia. The plant life often called "freesias", with fragrant funnel-shaped blossoms, are cultivated hybrids of lots of Freesia varieties. Some other varieties are also cultivated as ornamental vegetation.
They are really herbaceous plant life which increase from a conical corm 1-2.5 cm size, which transmits up a tuft of slim leaves 10-30 cm long, and a sparsely branched stem 10-40 cm extra tall bearing a few leaves and a loose one-sided spike of flowers with six tepals. Many kinds have fragrant narrowly funnel-shaped plants, although those previously positioned in the genus Anomatheca, such as F. laxa, have toned flowers. Freesias are being used as food vegetation by the larvae of some Lepidoptera types including Large Yellow Underwing.
CULTIVATION AND USES
The crops usually called "freesias" are derived from crosses made in the 19th hundred years between F. refracta and F. leichtlinii. Numerous cultivars have been bred from these varieties and the green- and yellow-flowered varieties of F. corymbosa. Modern tetraploid cultivars have blooms 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 immediately increased from seed. Because of their 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 fall in USDA Hardiness Areas 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 Areas 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, they have flat somewhat than cup-shaped blooms. Extensive 'forcing' of the bulb occurs in Half Moon Bay in California where several growers chill the lights in proprietary methods to satisfy frigid dormancy which results in development of buds within the predicted number of weeks - often 5 weeks at 55 ?F (13 ?C).
Herbaceous plant life (in botanical use frequently simply herbal remedies) are crops which have no persistent woody stem above surface. Herbaceous vegetation may be annuals, biennials or perennials. Total annual herbaceous plants pass away completely by the end of the growing season or when they may have flowered and fruited, and they then expand again from seed. Herbaceous perennial and biennial vegetation may have stems that die by the end of the growing season, but parts of the plant survive under or close to the bottom from season to season (for biennials, until the next growing season, when they bloom and die). New development builds up from living tissues left over on or under the bottom, including root base, a caudex (a thickened part of the stem at walk out) or numerous kinds of underground stems, such as light 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 plants which have stems above surface that stay alive during the dormant season and increase shoots another calendar year from the above-ground parts - these include trees, shrubs and vines.
