Freesia is a genus of herbaceous perennial flowering vegetation in the family Iridaceae, first described as a genus in 1866 by Chr. Fr. Echlon (1795-1868) and called after German botanist and doctor Friedrich Freese (1794-1878). It really is local to the eastern area of southern Africa, from Kenya south to South Africa, most varieties being found in Cape Provinces. Types of the ex - genus Anomatheca are now contained in Freesia. The plant life commonly known as "freesias", with fragrant funnel-shaped flowers, are cultivated hybrids of a number of Freesia types. Some other species are also cultivated as ornamental vegetation.
They can be herbaceous crops which develop from a conical corm 1-2.5 cm diameter, which transmits 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 plants with six tepals. Many varieties have fragrant narrowly funnel-shaped bouquets, although those previously placed in the genus Anomatheca, such as F. laxa, have even flowers. Freesias are being used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Large Yellow Underwing.
CULTIVATION AND USES
The crops 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 species and the red- and yellow-flowered forms of F. corymbosa. Modern tetraploid cultivars have blooms which range from white to yellow, pink, red and blue-mauve. They are mostly cultivated appropriately in the Netherlands by about 80 growers.[3] Freesias can be commonly increased from seed. Due to their specific and desirable scent, they are often used in side ointments, shampoos, candles, etc.[citation needed], however, the plants are mainly utilized in wedding bouquets. They can be planted in the fall in USDA Hardiness Areas 9-10 (i.e. where the temperature does not land below about -7 ?C (20 ?F)), and in the spring and coil 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, it offers flat alternatively than cup-shaped plants. Extensive 'forcing' of the 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 the predicted number of weeks - often 5 weeks at 55 ?F (13 ?C).
Herbaceous plants (in botanical use frequently simply natural remedies) are plants that contain no continual woody stem above surface. Herbaceous plants may be annuals, biennials or perennials. Total annual herbaceous plants pass away completely by the end of the growing season or when they have got flowered and fruited, and they then grow again from seed. Herbaceous perennial and biennial plant life may have stems that die at the end of the growing season, but elements of the plant survive under or close to the bottom from season to season (for biennials, before next growing season, when they flower and pass away). New growth grows from living cells left over on or under the ground, including roots, a caudex (a thickened part of the stem at ground level) or numerous kinds 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 and most grasses. By contrast, non-herbaceous perennial vegetation are woody plant life that have stems above ground that remain alive through the dormant season and grow shoots another season from the above-ground parts - these include trees, shrubs and vines.
