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 named after German botanist and doctor Friedrich Freese (1794-1878). It really is native to the eastern side of southern Africa, from Kenya south to South Africa, most species being found in Cape Provinces. Types of the former genus Anomatheca are actually included in Freesia. The crops commonly known as "freesias", with fragrant funnel-shaped plants, are cultivated hybrids of lots of Freesia species. Some other varieties are also cultivated as ornamental plant life.

They can be herbaceous vegetation which develop from a conical corm 1-2.5 cm diameter, which delivers up a tuft of thin 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 plants with six tepals. Many species have fragrant narrowly funnel-shaped blossoms, although those previously positioned in the genus Anomatheca, such as F. laxa, have smooth flowers. Freesias are used as food crops by the larvae of some Lepidoptera varieties including Large Yellowish Underwing.

CULTIVATION AND USES

The vegetation 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 types and the pink- and yellow-flowered forms of F. corymbosa. Modern tetraploid cultivars have blossoms which range from white to yellowish, red, red and blue-mauve. They can be mostly cultivated properly in the Netherlands by about 80 growers.[3] Freesias can be readily increased from seed. Due to their specific and satisfying scent, they are often used in hands lotions, shampoos, candles, etc.[citation needed], however, the plants are mainly used in wedding bouquets. They could 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 springtime in Areas 4-8.

Freesia laxa (previously called Lapeirousia laxa or Anomatheca cruenta) is one of the other kinds 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 light bulbs in proprietary solutions to satisfy wintry dormancy which results in development of buds within a predicted quantity of weeks - often 5 weeks at 55 ?F (13 ?C).

Herbaceous plants (in botanical use frequently simply herbs) are crops which have no continual woody stem above surface. Herbaceous plants may be annuals, biennials or perennials. Total annual herbaceous plants expire completely by the end of the growing season or when they have got flowered and fruited, plus they then expand again from seed. Herbaceous perennial and biennial crops may have stems that pass away by 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 blossom and die). New growth evolves from living tissue remaining on or under the ground, including root base, a caudex (a thickened portion 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 & most grasses. By contrast, non-herbaceous perennial plants are woody vegetation that have stems above ground that continue to be alive during the dormant season and increase shoots another year from the above-ground parts - included in these are trees, shrubs and vines.
