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 is indigenous to the eastern aspect of southern Africa, from Kenya south to South Africa, most kinds being within Cape Provinces. Species of the former genus Anomatheca are now included in Freesia. The plant life often called "freesias", with fragrant funnel-shaped blossoms, are cultivated hybrids of lots of Freesia varieties. Some other species are also grown up as ornamental plants.
They are really herbaceous plant life which expand 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 extra tall bearing a few leaves and a loose one-sided spike of blooms with six tepals. Many species have fragrant narrowly funnel-shaped bouquets, although those formerly placed in the genus Anomatheca, such as F. laxa, have level flowers. Freesias are being used as food vegetation by the larvae of some Lepidoptera types including Large Yellowish Underwing.
CULTIVATION AND USES
The vegetation 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 kinds and the pink- and yellow-flowered forms of F. corymbosa. Modern tetraploid cultivars have bouquets which range from white to yellow, pink, red and blue-mauve. They are simply mostly cultivated appropriately in holland by about 80 growers.[3] Freesias can be readily increased from seed. Due to their specific and attractive scent, they are generally used in palm creams, shampoos, candles, etc.[citation needed], however, the blooms are mainly utilized in wedding bouquets. They could be planted in the show up in USDA Hardiness Zones 9-10 (i.e. where in fact the temperature does not show up below about -7 ?C (20 ?F)), and in the planting season in Zones 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 somewhat than cup-shaped flowers. Extensive 'forcing' of this bulb occurs in two Moon Bay in California where several growers chill the light bulbs in proprietary methods to satisfy chilly dormancy which results in development of buds within a predicted quantity of weeks - often 5 weeks at 55 ?F (13 ?C).
Herbaceous plant life (in botanical use frequently simply natural herbs) are plant life which may have no continual woody stem above earth. Herbaceous plant life may be annuals, biennials or perennials. Annual herbaceous plants expire completely by the end of the growing season or when they may have flowered and fruited, and they then increase again from seed. Herbaceous perennial and biennial crops may have stems that die by the end of the growing season, but elements of the plant endure under or near to the bottom from season to season (for biennials, before next growing season, when they flower and die). New development produces from living tissue staying on or under the ground, including roots, a caudex (a thickened part of the stem at ground level) or various types of underground stems, such as 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 that have stems above floor that stay alive through the dormant season and increase shoots another year from the above-ground parts - these include trees, shrubs and vines.
