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 area of southern Africa, from Kenya south to South Africa, most kinds being found in Cape Provinces. Varieties of the ex - genus Anomatheca are now contained in Freesia. The plant life often called "freesias", with fragrant funnel-shaped plants, are cultivated hybrids of lots of Freesia kinds. Some other kinds are also grown up as ornamental vegetation.

They are really herbaceous crops which develop from a conical corm 1-2.5 cm diameter, which transmits up a tuft of narrow 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 blossoms with six tepals. Many varieties have fragrant narrowly funnel-shaped bouquets, although those formerly put in the genus Anomatheca, such as F. laxa, have smooth flowers. Freesias are used as food crops by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Large Yellowish Underwing.

CULTIVATION AND USES

The vegetation usually called "freesias" derive from crosses made in the 19th century between F. refracta and F. leichtlinii. Numerous cultivars have been bred from these types and the red- and yellow-flowered varieties of F. corymbosa. Modern tetraploid cultivars have plants ranging from white to yellowish, green, red and blue-mauve. They are really mostly cultivated skillfully in holland by about 80 growers.[3] Freesias can be conveniently increased from seed. Because of their specific and desirable scent, they are generally used in hands 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 Areas 9-10 (i.e. where the temperature does not fall season below about -7 ?C (20 ?F)), and in the spring in Areas 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 rather than cup-shaped blooms. Extensive 'forcing' of this bulb occurs in Half Moon Bay in California where several growers chill the bulbs in proprietary methods to satisfy wintry dormancy which results in development of buds in just a predicted range of weeks - often 5 weeks at 55 ?F (13 ?C).

Herbaceous plants (in botanical use frequently simply herbs) are plant life that contain no continual woody stem above floor. Herbaceous plant life may be annuals, biennials or perennials. Total annual herbaceous plants expire completely at the end of the growing season or when they have flowered and fruited, plus they then develop 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 make it through under or near to the bottom from season to season (for biennials, before next growing season, when they bloom and perish). New development evolves from living tissue staying on or under the ground, including origins, a caudex (a thickened part of the stem at ground level) or various types of underground stems, such as lights, corms, stolons, rhizomes and tubers. Types 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 which have stems above earth that continue to be alive through the dormant season and develop shoots the next time from the above-ground parts - included in these are trees and shrubs, shrubs and vines.
