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 named after German botanist and doctor Friedrich Freese (1794-1878). It is local to the eastern area of southern Africa, from Kenya south to South Africa, most types being found in Cape Provinces. Types of the former genus Anomatheca are actually included in Freesia. The crops often called "freesias", with fragrant funnel-shaped plants, are cultivated hybrids of a number of Freesia types. Some other varieties are also grown up as ornamental plants.
They are simply herbaceous plant life which increase from a conical corm 1-2.5 cm size, which sends up a tuft of thin leaves 10-30 cm long, and a sparsely branched stem 10-40 cm large bearing a few leaves and a loose one-sided spike of plants with six tepals. Many types have fragrant narrowly funnel-shaped blossoms, although those previously located in the genus Anomatheca, such as F. laxa, have toned flowers. Freesias are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Large Yellowish Underwing.
CULTIVATION AND USES
The plant life usually called "freesias" derive from crosses manufactured in the 19th century between F. refracta and F. leichtlinii. Numerous cultivars have been bred from these species and the pink- and yellow-flowered kinds of F. corymbosa. Modern tetraploid cultivars have blooms ranging from white to yellow, red, red and blue-mauve. They may be mostly cultivated expertly in the Netherlands by about 80 growers.[3] Freesias can be quickly increased from seed. Due to their specific and desirable scent, they are often used in hands ointments, 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 does not show up below about -7 ?C (20 ?F)), and in the planting season in Zones 4-8.
Freesia laxa (formerly called Lapeirousia laxa or Anomatheca cruenta) is one of the other species of the genus which is commonly cultivated. Smaller than the scented freesia cultivars, it offers flat somewhat than cup-shaped plants. Extensive 'forcing' of the bulb occurs in two Moon Bay in California where several growers chill the bulbs in proprietary solutions to satisfy frosty dormancy which results in formation of buds in just a predicted amount of weeks - often 5 weeks at 55 ?F (13 ?C).
Herbaceous plants (in botanical use frequently simply natural herbs) are vegetation that contain no continual woody stem above earth. Herbaceous vegetation may be annuals, biennials or perennials. Annual herbaceous plants die completely by the end of the growing season or when they have got flowered and fruited, plus 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 survive under or near to the ground from season to season (for biennials, before next growing season, when they bloom and die). New development produces from living tissues left over on or under the ground, including roots, a caudex (a thickened part of the stem at walk out) or numerous kinds of underground stems, such as lights, corms, stolons, rhizomes and tubers. Examples of herbaceous biennials include carrot, parsnip and common ragwort; herbaceous perennials include potato, peony, hosta, mint, most ferns and most grasses. By contrast, non-herbaceous perennial plant life are woody plant life that have stems above floor that continue to be alive through the dormant season and increase shoots the next season from the above-ground parts - included in these are trees, shrubs and vines.
