Freesia is a genus of herbaceous perennial flowering plant life in the family Iridaceae, first described 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 part of southern Africa, from Kenya south to South Africa, most species being found in Cape Provinces. Kinds of the previous genus Anomatheca are actually contained in Freesia. The vegetation often called "freesias", with fragrant funnel-shaped flowers, are cultivated hybrids of a number of Freesia kinds. Some other types are also cultivated as ornamental plant life.
They may be herbaceous plants which expand from a conical corm 1-2.5 cm size, which sends 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 plants with six tepals. Many varieties have fragrant narrowly funnel-shaped plants, although those formerly positioned in the genus Anomatheca, such as F. laxa, have even flowers. Freesias are being used as food crops by the larvae of some Lepidoptera types including Large Yellow Underwing.
CULTIVATION AND USES
The plant life usually called "freesias" derive from crosses manufactured in the 19th hundred years between F. refracta and F. leichtlinii. Numerous cultivars have been bred from these varieties and the red- and yellow-flowered varieties of F. corymbosa. Modern tetraploid cultivars have plants which range from white to yellowish, red, red and blue-mauve. They can be mostly cultivated professionally in the Netherlands by about 80 growers.[3] Freesias can be quickly increased from seed. Because of their specific and attractive scent, they are often used in side ointments, shampoos, candles, etc.[citation needed], however, the blossoms are mainly used in wedding bouquets. They can be planted in the fall in USDA Hardiness Areas 9-10 (i.e. where in fact the temperature does not fall below about -7 ?C (20 ?F)), and in the spring and coil in Areas 4-8.
Freesia laxa (formerly called Lapeirousia laxa or Anomatheca cruenta) is one of the other varieties of the genus which is commonly cultivated. Smaller than the scented freesia cultivars, they have flat alternatively than cup-shaped flowers. Extensive 'forcing' of this bulb occurs in Half Moon Bay in California where several growers chill the light bulbs in proprietary solutions to satisfy frigid dormancy which results in creation of buds within the predicted amount of weeks - often 5 weeks at 55 ?F (13 ?C).
Herbaceous vegetation (in botanical use frequently simply herbal remedies) are vegetation which have 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, plus they then grow again from seed. Herbaceous perennial and biennial crops may have stems that pass away by the end of the growing season, but elements of the plant make it through under or close to the bottom from season to season (for biennials, before next growing season, when they rose and die). New development produces from living tissue remaining on or under the bottom, 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. 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 plant life are woody vegetation which have stems above floor that continue to be alive during the dormant season and develop shoots the next calendar year from the above-ground parts - these include trees and shrubs, shrubs and vines.
