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 called after German botanist and doctor Friedrich Freese (1794-1878). It is indigenous to the eastern area of southern Africa, from Kenya south to South Africa, most types being within Cape Provinces. Varieties of the previous genus Anomatheca are actually contained in Freesia. The plants often called "freesias", with fragrant funnel-shaped flowers, are cultivated hybrids of a number of Freesia types. Some other types are also grown as ornamental crops.
They can be herbaceous plant life which increase from a conical corm 1-2.5 cm size, which delivers up a tuft of narrow 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 kinds have fragrant narrowly funnel-shaped blossoms, although those formerly positioned in the genus Anomatheca, such as F. laxa, have toned flowers. Freesias are used as food crops by the larvae of some Lepidoptera types including Large Yellow 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 forms of F. corymbosa. Modern tetraploid cultivars have flowers ranging from white to yellowish, red, red and blue-mauve. These are mostly cultivated properly in holland by about 80 growers.[3] Freesias can be immediately increased from seed. Because of the specific and attractive scent, they are often used in hand creams, shampoos, candles, etc.[citation needed], however, the plants are mainly used 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 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 has flat alternatively than cup-shaped bouquets. Extensive 'forcing' of the bulb occurs in two Moon Bay in California where several growers chill the bulbs in proprietary methods to satisfy cool dormancy which results in formation of buds in a predicted quantity of weeks - often 5 weeks at 55 ?F (13 ?C).
Herbaceous vegetation (in botanical use frequently simply herbal products) are vegetation that contain no consistent woody stem above earth. Herbaceous plant life may be annuals, biennials or perennials. Total annual herbaceous plants expire completely at the end of the growing season or when they have flowered and fruited, and they then expand again from seed. Herbaceous perennial and biennial crops may have stems that pass away at the end of the growing season, but elements of the plant make it through under or near the bottom from season to season (for biennials, before next growing season, when they rose and pass away). New expansion evolves from living tissue left over on or under the bottom, including origins, a caudex (a thickened portion of the stem at ground level) or various types of underground stems, such as light 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 vegetation that have stems above earth that remain alive through the dormant season and increase shoots the next calendar year from the above-ground parts - included in these are trees, shrubs and vines.
