Freesia is a genus of herbaceous perennial flowering plants in the family Iridaceae, first referred to 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 side of southern Africa, from Kenya south to South Africa, most varieties being found in Cape Provinces. Kinds of the previous genus Anomatheca are now included in Freesia. The vegetation often called "freesias", with fragrant funnel-shaped plants, are cultivated hybrids of a number of Freesia varieties. Some other kinds are also grown as ornamental crops.
They are simply herbaceous plants which develop from a conical corm 1-2.5 cm size, which transmits up a tuft of small 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 types have fragrant narrowly funnel-shaped blooms, although those previously put in the genus Anomatheca, such as F. laxa, have even flowers. Freesias are used as food plant life by the larvae of some Lepidoptera types including Large Yellow Underwing.
CULTIVATION AND USES
The plants 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 species and the pink- and yellow-flowered forms of F. corymbosa. Modern tetraploid cultivars have bouquets ranging from white to yellow, red, red and blue-mauve. They are mostly cultivated skillfully in the Netherlands by about 80 growers.[3] Freesias can be easily increased from seed. Because of the specific and attractive scent, they are often used in hands lotions, shampoos, candles, etc.[citation needed], however, the blossoms are mainly utilized in wedding bouquets. They can be planted in the land in USDA Hardiness Areas 9-10 (i.e. where the temperature will 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 includes flat alternatively than cup-shaped bouquets. 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 development of buds in just a predicted number of weeks - often 5 weeks at 55 ?F (13 ?C).
Herbaceous plants (in botanical use frequently simply herbs) are plant life which may have no prolonged woody stem above surface. Herbaceous plant life may be annuals, biennials or perennials. Total annual herbaceous plants pass away completely at the end of the growing season or when they may have flowered and fruited, and 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 parts of the plant make it through under or near the bottom from season to season (for biennials, before next growing season, when they flower and die). New expansion advances from living cells remaining on or under the ground, including origins, 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. 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 plants that have stems above surface that remain alive through the dormant season and expand shoots another time from the above-ground parts - these include trees and shrubs, shrubs and vines.
