Freesia is a genus of herbaceous perennial flowering plant life 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 native to the eastern side of southern Africa, from Kenya south to South Africa, most kinds being found in Cape Provinces. Species of the ex - genus Anomatheca are now included in Freesia. The crops commonly known as "freesias", with fragrant funnel-shaped flowers, are cultivated hybrids of lots of Freesia types. Some other varieties are also harvested as ornamental plant life.
These are herbaceous crops which expand from a conical corm 1-2.5 cm diameter, which delivers up a tuft of narrow 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 flowers with six tepals. Many kinds have fragrant narrowly funnel-shaped bouquets, although those formerly positioned in the genus Anomatheca, such as F. laxa, have smooth flowers. Freesias are being used as food plant life by the larvae of some Lepidoptera varieties including Large Yellow Underwing.
CULTIVATION AND USES
The vegetation 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 red- and yellow-flowered kinds of F. corymbosa. Modern tetraploid cultivars have flowers which range from white to yellow, red, red and blue-mauve. They are simply mostly cultivated professionally in holland by about 80 growers.[3] Freesias can be readily increased from seed. Because of their specific and pleasing scent, they are generally used in palm lotions, shampoos, candles, etc.[citation needed], however, the blooms are mainly used in wedding bouquets. They can be planted in the semester in USDA Hardiness Areas 9-10 (i.e. where in fact the temperature will not fall season below about -7 ?C (20 ?F)), and in the planting season in Areas 4-8.
Freesia laxa (formerly 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 rather than cup-shaped blossoms. Extensive 'forcing' of the bulb occurs in two Moon Bay in California where several growers chill the lights in proprietary solutions to satisfy wintry dormancy which results in formation of buds in a predicted volume of weeks - often 5 weeks at 55 ?F (13 ?C).
Herbaceous plants (in botanical use frequently simply natural herbs) are crops which have no persistent woody stem above earth. Herbaceous vegetation may be annuals, biennials or perennials. Total annual herbaceous plants die completely by the end of the growing season or when they may have flowered and fruited, plus they then grow again from seed. Herbaceous perennial and biennial plants may have stems that pass away by the end of the growing season, but parts of the plant endure under or close to the ground from season to season (for biennials, until the next growing season, when they bloom and pass away). New growth grows from living tissue left over on or under the ground, including root base, a caudex (a thickened part 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 and most grasses. By contrast, non-herbaceous perennial crops are woody plant life that have stems above earth that stay alive during the dormant season and expand shoots another calendar year from the above-ground parts - these include trees, shrubs and vines.
