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 known as after German botanist and doctor Friedrich Freese (1794-1878). It really is local to the eastern aspect of southern Africa, from Kenya south to South Africa, most species being found in Cape Provinces. Types of the previous genus Anomatheca are actually included in Freesia. The crops often called "freesias", with fragrant funnel-shaped blooms, are cultivated hybrids of a number of Freesia varieties. Some other varieties are also cultivated as ornamental vegetation.
They may be herbaceous plants which expand from a conical corm 1-2.5 cm diameter, which delivers up a tuft of thin 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 blossoms with six tepals. Many species have fragrant narrowly funnel-shaped blossoms, although those previously located in the genus Anomatheca, such as F. laxa, have smooth flowers. Freesias are used as food plant life by the larvae of some Lepidoptera types including Large Yellowish Underwing.
CULTIVATION AND USES
The vegetation usually called "freesias" are derived from crosses made in the 19th century between F. refracta and F. leichtlinii. Numerous cultivars have been bred from these varieties and the red- and yellow-flowered varieties of F. corymbosa. Modern tetraploid cultivars have blooms which range from white to yellowish, red, red and blue-mauve. They can be mostly cultivated professionally in holland by about 80 growers.[3] Freesias can be easily increased from seed. Because of their specific and satisfying scent, they are often used in palm creams, shampoos, candles, etc.[citation needed], however, the blooms are mainly used in wedding bouquets. They could be planted in the land in USDA Hardiness Zones 9-10 (i.e. where the temperature does not fall 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 varieties of the genus which is commonly cultivated. Smaller than the scented freesia cultivars, it has flat somewhat than cup-shaped blooms. Extensive 'forcing' of this bulb occurs in two Moon Bay in California where several growers chill the light bulbs in proprietary solutions to satisfy frigid dormancy which results in creation of buds in a predicted range of weeks - often 5 weeks at 55 ?F (13 ?C).
Herbaceous plants (in botanical use frequently simply natural remedies) are crops that contain no consistent woody stem above floor. Herbaceous crops may be annuals, biennials or perennials. Annual herbaceous plants perish completely at the end of the growing season or when they have flowered and fruited, plus they then expand again from seed. Herbaceous perennial and biennial vegetation may have stems that pass away at the end of the growing season, but elements of the plant survive under or near to the bottom from season to season (for biennials, before next growing season, when they bloom and pass away). New expansion develops from living tissue staying on or under the ground, including roots, a caudex (a thickened part 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. In comparison, non-herbaceous perennial vegetation are woody vegetation which have stems above surface that remain alive during the dormant season and develop shoots another yr from the above-ground parts - included in these are trees and shrubs, shrubs and vines.
