Freesia is a genus of herbaceous perennial flowering crops 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 area of southern Africa, from Kenya south to South Africa, most species being within Cape Provinces. Types of the previous genus Anomatheca are actually included in Freesia. The plants often called "freesias", with fragrant funnel-shaped blossoms, are cultivated hybrids of a number of Freesia kinds. Some other kinds are also expanded as ornamental plants.
They are really herbaceous crops which increase from a conical corm 1-2.5 cm size, which sends 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 bouquets with six tepals. Many species have fragrant narrowly funnel-shaped flowers, although those formerly located in the genus Anomatheca, such as F. laxa, have even flowers. Freesias are being used as food crops by the larvae of some Lepidoptera types including Large Yellow Underwing.
CULTIVATION AND USES
The plants 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 varieties and the pink- and yellow-flowered forms of F. corymbosa. Modern tetraploid cultivars have blooms which range from white to yellowish, red, red and blue-mauve. They are mostly cultivated skillfully 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 hands products, shampoos, candles, etc.[citation needed], however, the blossoms are mainly utilized in wedding bouquets. They can be planted in the fall in USDA Hardiness Zones 9-10 (i.e. where the temperature does not fall season below about -7 ?C (20 ?F)), and in the spring in Zones 4-8.
Freesia laxa (formerly 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 has flat alternatively than cup-shaped blossoms. Extensive 'forcing' of this bulb occurs in Half Moon Bay in California where several growers chill the bulbs in proprietary solutions to satisfy cold dormancy which results in creation of buds within a predicted amount of weeks - often 5 weeks at 55 ?F (13 ?C).
Herbaceous plants (in botanical use frequently simply herbs) are plant life that contain no continual woody stem above earth. Herbaceous crops may be annuals, biennials or perennials. Total annual herbaceous plants perish completely by the end of the growing season or when they have flowered and fruited, plus they then expand again from seed. Herbaceous perennial and biennial crops may have stems that die by the end of the growing season, but parts of the plant survive under or near the bottom from season to season (for biennials, before next growing season, when they flower and pass away). New development produces from living tissues staying on or under the bottom, including root base, a caudex (a thickened portion of the stem at ground level) 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 plant life are woody plants that have stems above floor that continue to be alive during the dormant season and develop shoots another season from the above-ground parts - these include trees, shrubs and vines.
