Freesia is a genus of herbaceous perennial flowering plants 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 is native to the eastern part of southern Africa, from Kenya south to South Africa, most kinds being found in Cape Provinces. Kinds of the ex - genus Anomatheca are now included in Freesia. The plants often called "freesias", with fragrant funnel-shaped bouquets, are cultivated hybrids of lots of Freesia varieties. Some other species are also harvested as ornamental plants.
They are really herbaceous plants which grow from a conical corm 1-2.5 cm diameter, which transmits up a tuft of slim 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 blooms with six tepals. Many types have fragrant narrowly funnel-shaped bouquets, although those formerly positioned in the genus Anomatheca, such as F. laxa, have chiseled flowers. Freesias are used as food crops by the larvae of some Lepidoptera varieties including Large Yellow Underwing.
CULTIVATION AND USES
The crops usually called "freesias" are derived from crosses manufactured in the 19th hundred years between F. refracta and F. leichtlinii. Numerous cultivars have been bred from these species and the green- and yellow-flowered types of F. corymbosa. Modern tetraploid cultivars have plants which range from white to yellow, green, red and blue-mauve. They are really 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 often used in side ointments, shampoos, candles, etc.[citation needed], however, the bouquets are mainly used in wedding bouquets. They can be planted in the fall season in USDA Hardiness Areas 9-10 (i.e. where the temperature does not fall season below about -7 ?C (20 ?F)), and in the planting season in Zones 4-8.
Freesia laxa (previously called Lapeirousia laxa or Anomatheca cruenta) is one of the other types of the genus which is commonly cultivated. Smaller than the scented freesia cultivars, it offers flat alternatively than cup-shaped flowers. Extensive 'forcing' of the bulb occurs in two Moon Bay in California where several growers chill the lights in proprietary solutions to satisfy chilly dormancy which results in development of buds in a predicted amount of weeks - often 5 weeks at 55 ?F (13 ?C).
Herbaceous vegetation (in botanical use frequently simply natural remedies) are plant life that contain no prolonged woody stem above ground. Herbaceous plants may be annuals, biennials or perennials. Total annual herbaceous plants die completely at the end of the growing season or when they may have flowered and fruited, and they then expand again from seed. Herbaceous perennial and biennial vegetation may have stems that die at the end of the growing season, but parts of the plant make it through under or near to the bottom from season to season (for biennials, until the next growing season, when they rose and perish). New progress grows from living tissue staying on or under the ground, including root base, a caudex (a thickened portion of the stem at walk out) or various types of underground stems, such as bulbs, corms, stolons, rhizomes and tubers. Examples 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 plants are woody plants which have stems above earth that continue to be alive during the dormant season and expand shoots another season from the above-ground parts - these include trees and shrubs, shrubs and vines.
