Freesia is a genus of herbaceous perennial flowering crops 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 really is local to the eastern part of southern Africa, from Kenya south to South Africa, most species being within Cape Provinces. Varieties of the previous genus Anomatheca are now included in Freesia. The crops commonly known as "freesias", with fragrant funnel-shaped bouquets, are cultivated hybrids of a number of Freesia varieties. Some other varieties are also produced as ornamental plants.
They can be herbaceous vegetation which develop from a conical corm 1-2.5 cm size, which delivers up a tuft of slim 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 blossoms with six tepals. Many varieties have fragrant narrowly funnel-shaped blooms, although those previously put in the genus Anomatheca, such as F. laxa, have level flowers. Freesias are being used as food crops by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Large Yellow Underwing.
CULTIVATION AND USES
The plants usually called "freesias" derive from crosses manufactured in the 19th hundred years between F. refracta and F. leichtlinii. Numerous cultivars have been bred from these kinds and the green- and yellow-flowered forms of F. corymbosa. Modern tetraploid cultivars have plants ranging from white to yellowish, red, red and blue-mauve. They are really mostly cultivated appropriately in holland by about 80 growers.[3] Freesias can be immediately increased from seed. Due to their specific and satisfying scent, they are often used in side lotions, shampoos, candles, etc.[citation needed], however, the plants are mainly utilized in wedding bouquets. They can be planted in the fall in USDA Hardiness Zones 9-10 (i.e. where in fact the temperature will not fall below about -7 ?C (20 ?F)), and in the spring and coil in Zones 4-8.
Freesia laxa (formerly 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 blossoms. 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 variety of weeks - often 5 weeks at 55 ?F (13 ?C).
Herbaceous vegetation (in botanical use frequently simply herbal remedies) are vegetation which have no consistent woody stem above earth. Herbaceous plants may be annuals, biennials or perennials. Total annual herbaceous plants expire completely by the end of the growing season or when they may have flowered and fruited, plus they then develop again from seed. Herbaceous perennial and biennial plant life may have stems that pass away at the end of the growing season, but elements of the plant endure under or close to the ground from season to season (for biennials, before next growing season, when they flower and pass away). New development builds up from living cells staying on or under the bottom, including roots, a caudex (a thickened portion 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. In comparison, non-herbaceous perennial crops are woody crops which have stems above earth that continue to be alive through the dormant season and expand shoots another season from the above-ground parts - these include trees, shrubs and vines.
