Freesia is a genus of herbaceous perennial flowering plant life in the family Iridaceae, first referred to as a genus in 1866 by Chr. Fr. Echlon (1795-1868) and named after German botanist and doctor Friedrich Freese (1794-1878). It really is native 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 included in Freesia. The plants often called "freesias", with fragrant funnel-shaped flowers, are cultivated hybrids of lots of Freesia types. Some other types are also produced as ornamental crops.
They are herbaceous vegetation which develop 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 extra tall bearing a few leaves and a loose one-sided spike of blossoms with six tepals. Many kinds have fragrant narrowly funnel-shaped blooms, although those previously positioned in the genus Anomatheca, such as F. laxa, have toned flowers. Freesias are used as food plant life by the larvae of some Lepidoptera varieties including Large Yellowish Underwing.
CULTIVATION AND USES
The plants usually called "freesias" derive from crosses made in the 19th hundred years between F. refracta and F. leichtlinii. Numerous cultivars have been bred from these types and the green- and yellow-flowered types of F. corymbosa. Modern tetraploid cultivars have blossoms ranging from white to yellow, green, red and blue-mauve. They may be mostly cultivated expertly in holland by about 80 growers.[3] Freesias can be readily increased from seed. Because of their specific and satisfying scent, they are generally used in hands products, shampoos, candles, etc.[citation needed], however, the bouquets are mainly used in wedding bouquets. They could be planted in the fall in USDA Hardiness Zones 9-10 (i.e. where in fact the temperature will not land below about -7 ?C (20 ?F)), and in the springtime in Areas 4-8.
Freesia laxa (previously called Lapeirousia laxa or Anomatheca cruenta) is one of the other types of the genus which is often cultivated. Smaller than the scented freesia cultivars, it includes flat somewhat than cup-shaped flowers. 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 formation of buds inside a predicted volume of weeks - often 5 weeks at 55 ?F (13 ?C).
Herbaceous plants (in botanical use frequently simply herbal remedies) are vegetation that have no continual woody stem above surface. Herbaceous crops may be annuals, biennials or perennials. Total annual herbaceous plants perish completely at the end of the growing season or when they have flowered and fruited, and they then expand again from seed. Herbaceous perennial and biennial plant life may have stems that pass away at the end of the growing season, but parts of the plant endure under or near to the bottom from season to season (for biennials, before next growing season, when they rose and perish). New progress builds up from living tissue left over on or under the ground, including roots, a caudex (a thickened part of the stem at walk out) or various types of underground stems, such as light 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 & most grasses. By contrast, non-herbaceous perennial vegetation are woody vegetation which have stems above ground that remain alive through the dormant season and grow shoots another yr from the above-ground parts - these include trees and shrubs, shrubs and vines.
