Freesia is a genus of herbaceous perennial flowering crops in the family Iridaceae, first referred to as a genus in 1866 by Chr. Fr. Echlon (1795-1868) and named after German botanist and doctor Friedrich Freese (1794-1878). It is indigenous to the eastern side of southern Africa, from Kenya south to South Africa, most species being within Cape Provinces. Species of the past genus Anomatheca are now included in Freesia. The plants often called "freesias", with fragrant funnel-shaped flowers, are cultivated hybrids of lots of Freesia species. Some other kinds are also grown as ornamental plant life.
They are herbaceous vegetation which grow from a conical corm 1-2.5 cm size, which directs 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 flowers with six tepals. Many types have fragrant narrowly funnel-shaped flowers, although those formerly positioned in the genus Anomatheca, such as F. laxa, have smooth flowers. Freesias are used as food crops by the larvae of some Lepidoptera kinds 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 types and the green- and yellow-flowered forms of F. corymbosa. Modern tetraploid cultivars have blooms which range from white to yellow, red, red and blue-mauve. They are mostly cultivated professionally in holland by about 80 growers.[3] Freesias can be easily increased from seed. Because of the specific and desirable scent, they are generally used in side ointments, shampoos, candles, etc.[citation needed], however, the blossoms are mainly utilized in wedding bouquets. They could 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 springtime in Zones 4-8.
Freesia laxa (formerly called Lapeirousia laxa or Anomatheca cruenta) is one of the other varieties of the genus which is commonly cultivated. Smaller than the scented freesia cultivars, it includes flat alternatively than cup-shaped bouquets. Extensive 'forcing' of the bulb occurs in two Moon Bay in California where several growers chill the lights in proprietary methods to satisfy frosty dormancy which results in creation of buds within the predicted number of weeks - often 5 weeks at 55 ?F (13 ?C).
Herbaceous plants (in botanical use frequently simply herbal selections) are vegetation which have no consistent woody stem above floor. Herbaceous vegetation may be annuals, biennials or perennials. Annual herbaceous plants expire completely by the end of the growing season or when they may have flowered and fruited, and they then increase again from seed. Herbaceous perennial and biennial crops may have stems that die by the end of the growing season, but elements of the plant endure under or near the bottom from season to season (for biennials, until the next growing season, when they rose and expire). New development develops from living tissues staying on or under the bottom, including root base, a caudex (a thickened portion of the stem at ground level) or numerous kinds 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 and most grasses. In comparison, non-herbaceous perennial plants are woody plants which have stems above ground that continue to be alive during the dormant season and develop shoots the next calendar year from the above-ground parts - included in these are trees, shrubs and vines.
