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 named after German botanist and doctor Friedrich Freese (1794-1878). It is local to the eastern part of southern Africa, from Kenya south to South Africa, most kinds being within Cape Provinces. Varieties of the ex - genus Anomatheca are now included in Freesia. The plant life commonly known as "freesias", with fragrant funnel-shaped blooms, are cultivated hybrids of a number of Freesia species. Some other kinds are also cultivated as ornamental crops.
These are herbaceous vegetation which grow from a conical corm 1-2.5 cm diameter, which delivers up a tuft of small leaves 10-30 cm long, and a sparsely branched stem 10-40 cm extra tall bearing a few leaves and a loose one-sided spike of bouquets with six tepals. Many varieties have fragrant narrowly funnel-shaped blossoms, although those formerly positioned in the genus Anomatheca, such as F. laxa, have chiseled flowers. Freesias are being used as food vegetation by the larvae of some Lepidoptera varieties including Large Yellowish Underwing.
CULTIVATION AND USES
The crops usually called "freesias" are derived from crosses made in the 19th hundred years between F. refracta and F. leichtlinii. Numerous cultivars have been bred from these varieties and the pink- and yellow-flowered types of F. corymbosa. Modern tetraploid cultivars have plants ranging from white to yellowish, pink, red and blue-mauve. These are mostly cultivated appropriately in the Netherlands by about 80 growers.[3] Freesias can be conveniently increased from seed. Due to their specific and pleasing scent, they are often used in palm lotions, shampoos, candles, etc.[citation needed], however, the flowers are mainly used in wedding bouquets. They could be planted in the semester in USDA Hardiness Areas 9-10 (i.e. where in fact the temperature does not land below about -7 ?C (20 ?F)), and in the planting season in Zones 4-8.
Freesia laxa (formerly called Lapeirousia laxa or Anomatheca cruenta) is one of the other species of the genus which is commonly cultivated. Smaller than the scented freesia cultivars, it has flat somewhat than cup-shaped flowers. Extensive 'forcing' of this bulb occurs in Half Moon Bay in California where several growers chill the light bulbs in proprietary solutions to satisfy chilly dormancy which results in creation of buds in just a predicted number of weeks - often 5 weeks at 55 ?F (13 ?C).
Herbaceous crops (in botanical use frequently simply natural remedies) are vegetation which may have no consistent woody stem above earth. Herbaceous crops 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, and they then increase again from seed. Herbaceous perennial and biennial vegetation may have stems that pass away by the end of the growing season, but elements 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 blossom and perish). New development produces from living tissues remaining on or under the ground, including roots, a caudex (a thickened part of the stem at walk out) or numerous kinds 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. In comparison, non-herbaceous perennial plants are woody vegetation that have stems above ground that remain alive through the dormant season and grow shoots another calendar year from the above-ground parts - included in these are trees and shrubs, shrubs and vines.
