Freesia is a genus of herbaceous perennial flowering plant life in the family Iridaceae, first described 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 aspect of southern Africa, from Kenya south to South Africa, most types being found in Cape Provinces. Types of the past genus Anomatheca are actually contained in Freesia. The plants often called "freesias", with fragrant funnel-shaped plants, are cultivated hybrids of lots of Freesia varieties. Some other types are also cultivated as ornamental plants.
They can be herbaceous vegetation which expand 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 extra tall bearing a few leaves and a loose one-sided spike of blossoms with six tepals. Many kinds have fragrant narrowly funnel-shaped blossoms, although those formerly put in the genus Anomatheca, such as F. laxa, have even flowers. Freesias are being used as food plant life by the larvae of some Lepidoptera types including Large Yellow Underwing.
CULTIVATION AND USES
The plants usually called "freesias" derive from crosses made in the 19th century between F. refracta and F. leichtlinii. Numerous cultivars have been bred from these kinds and the green- and yellow-flowered types of F. corymbosa. Modern tetraploid cultivars have bouquets ranging from white to yellowish, red, red and blue-mauve. These are mostly cultivated expertly in holland by about 80 growers.[3] Freesias can be easily increased from seed. Because of the specific and pleasing scent, they are often used in palm creams, shampoos, candles, etc.[citation needed], however, the plants are mainly utilized 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 land below about -7 ?C (20 ?F)), and in the spring in Areas 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 offers flat alternatively than cup-shaped blossoms. Extensive 'forcing' of this bulb occurs in two Moon Bay in California where several growers chill the lights in proprietary solutions to satisfy wintry dormancy which results in creation of buds in just a predicted volume of weeks - often 5 weeks at 55 ?F (13 ?C).
Herbaceous crops (in botanical use frequently simply herbal remedies) are vegetation that have no prolonged woody stem above surface. Herbaceous plant life may be annuals, biennials or perennials. Annual herbaceous plants perish completely at the end of the growing season or when they have got flowered and fruited, and they then expand again from seed. Herbaceous perennial and biennial plant life may have stems that die by the end of the growing season, but elements of the plant make it through under or near to the ground from season to season (for biennials, until the next growing season, when they rose and expire). New development advances from living tissues staying on or under the bottom, including roots, a caudex (a thickened portion of the stem at ground level) or numerous kinds of underground stems, such as lights, 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 plants are woody crops that have stems above earth that remain alive during the dormant season and grow shoots the next season from the above-ground parts - included in these are trees and shrubs, shrubs and vines.
