Freesia is a genus of herbaceous perennial flowering plants in the family Iridaceae, first described as a genus in 1866 by Chr. Fr. Echlon (1795-1868) and named after German botanist and doctor Friedrich Freese (1794-1878). It is local to the eastern side of southern Africa, from Kenya south to South Africa, most kinds being found in Cape Provinces. Kinds of the past genus Anomatheca are now contained in Freesia. The plants often called "freesias", with fragrant funnel-shaped flowers, are cultivated hybrids of lots of Freesia varieties. Some other types are also grown up as ornamental vegetation.
They are simply herbaceous crops which develop from a conical corm 1-2.5 cm diameter, which sends up a tuft of small 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 bouquets with six tepals. Many kinds have fragrant narrowly funnel-shaped flowers, although those formerly put in the genus Anomatheca, such as F. laxa, have toned flowers. Freesias are being used as food crops by the larvae of some Lepidoptera types including Large Yellow Underwing.
CULTIVATION AND USES
The vegetation usually called "freesias" are derived from crosses made in the 19th century between F. refracta and F. leichtlinii. Numerous cultivars have been bred from these kinds and the red- and yellow-flowered types of F. corymbosa. Modern tetraploid cultivars have flowers ranging from white to yellowish, red, red and blue-mauve. These are mostly cultivated skillfully in holland by about 80 growers.[3] Freesias can be commonly increased from seed. Because of their specific and attractive scent, they are often used in palm ointments, shampoos, candles, etc.[citation needed], however, the plants are mainly used in wedding bouquets. They could be planted in the land in USDA Hardiness Zones 9-10 (i.e. where the temperature does not land below about -7 ?C (20 ?F)), and in the planting season in Areas 4-8.
Freesia laxa (previously called Lapeirousia laxa or Anomatheca cruenta) is one of the other kinds of the genus which is commonly cultivated. Smaller than the scented freesia cultivars, they have flat rather than cup-shaped bouquets. Extensive 'forcing' of this bulb occurs in Half Moon Bay in California where several growers chill the lights in proprietary methods to satisfy chilly dormancy which results in creation of buds in a predicted quantity of weeks - often 5 weeks at 55 ?F (13 ?C).
Herbaceous plants (in botanical use frequently simply herbal products) are vegetation that have no continual woody stem above floor. Herbaceous plant life may be annuals, biennials or perennials. Annual herbaceous plants perish completely by the end of the growing season or when they have flowered and fruited, and they then develop 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 close to the bottom from season to season (for biennials, until the next growing season, when they flower and expire). New expansion develops from living tissue staying on or under the ground, including origins, a caudex (a thickened part of the stem at ground level) or numerous kinds of underground stems, such as light bulbs, 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. In comparison, non-herbaceous perennial vegetation are woody plant life which have stems above ground that remain alive during the dormant season and develop shoots another time from the above-ground parts - included in these are trees, shrubs and vines.
