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 named after German botanist and doctor Friedrich Freese (1794-1878). It really is native to the eastern side of southern Africa, from Kenya south to South Africa, most varieties being within Cape Provinces. Species of the previous genus Anomatheca are actually included in Freesia. The crops often called "freesias", with fragrant funnel-shaped plants, are cultivated hybrids of lots of Freesia kinds. Some other species are also grown as ornamental crops.
They are simply herbaceous plant life which increase from a conical corm 1-2.5 cm diameter, which delivers up a tuft of small leaves 10-30 cm long, and a sparsely branched stem 10-40 cm tall bearing a few leaves and a loose one-sided spike of blooms with six tepals. Many types have fragrant narrowly funnel-shaped blooms, although those formerly positioned in the genus Anomatheca, such as F. laxa, have smooth 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 hundred years between F. refracta and F. leichtlinii. Numerous cultivars have been bred from these species and the red- and yellow-flowered kinds of F. corymbosa. Modern tetraploid cultivars have flowers which range from white to yellow, green, red and blue-mauve. They may be mostly cultivated professionally in holland by about 80 growers.[3] Freesias can be easily increased from seed. Because of their specific and attractive scent, they are generally used in palm lotions, shampoos, candles, etc.[citation needed], however, the bouquets are mainly used in wedding bouquets. They can be planted in the street to redemption 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 species of the genus which is often cultivated. Smaller than the scented freesia cultivars, it includes flat alternatively than cup-shaped plants. Extensive 'forcing' of this bulb occurs in Half Moon Bay in California where several growers chill the bulbs in proprietary solutions to satisfy chilly dormancy which results in creation of buds in a predicted volume of weeks - often 5 weeks at 55 ?F (13 ?C).
Herbaceous vegetation (in botanical use frequently simply herbal remedies) are vegetation that contain no continual woody stem above surface. Herbaceous plant life may be annuals, biennials or perennials. Annual herbaceous plants expire completely by the end of the growing season or when they have flowered and fruited, and they then grow again from seed. Herbaceous perennial and biennial plants may have stems that die by the end of the growing season, but elements of the plant survive under or near the ground from season to season (for biennials, until the next growing season, when they blossom and pass away). New expansion builds up from living cells remaining on or under the ground, including roots, a caudex (a thickened portion 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 vegetation are woody crops that have stems above earth that continue to be alive during the dormant season and increase shoots the next year from the above-ground parts - these include trees, shrubs and vines.
