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 called after German botanist and doctor Friedrich Freese (1794-1878). It is native to the eastern area of southern Africa, from Kenya south to South Africa, most types being found in Cape Provinces. Varieties of the ex - genus Anomatheca are actually included in Freesia. The plant life often called "freesias", with fragrant funnel-shaped blooms, are cultivated hybrids of lots of Freesia types. Some other types are also grown up as ornamental plant life.
They are herbaceous plants which expand from a conical corm 1-2.5 cm size, which delivers up a tuft of narrow leaves 10-30 cm long, and a sparsely branched stem 10-40 cm high bearing a few leaves and a loose one-sided spike of plants with six tepals. Many varieties have fragrant narrowly funnel-shaped bouquets, although those previously put in the genus Anomatheca, such as F. laxa, have smooth flowers. Freesias are used as food vegetation by the larvae of some Lepidoptera varieties including Large Yellowish Underwing.
CULTIVATION AND USES
The plants 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 kinds and the green- and yellow-flowered varieties of F. corymbosa. Modern tetraploid cultivars have bouquets which range from white to yellowish, pink, red and blue-mauve. They are mostly cultivated professionally in holland by about 80 growers.[3] Freesias can be readily increased from seed. Because of the specific and desirable scent, they are generally used in side ointments, shampoos, candles, etc.[citation needed], however, the flowers are mainly utilized in wedding bouquets. They could be planted in the street to redemption in USDA Hardiness Areas 9-10 (i.e. where the temperature does not fall below about -7 ?C (20 ?F)), and in the planting season in Zones 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 offers flat somewhat than cup-shaped bouquets. Extensive 'forcing' of the bulb occurs in two Moon Bay in California where several growers chill the lights in proprietary solutions to satisfy cold dormancy which results in development of buds in a predicted amount of weeks - often 5 weeks at 55 ?F (13 ?C).
Herbaceous plants (in botanical use frequently simply herbal selections) are vegetation that have no continual woody stem above surface. Herbaceous crops may be annuals, biennials or perennials. Total annual herbaceous plants pass away completely by the end of the growing season or when they have got flowered and fruited, and they then develop again from seed. Herbaceous perennial and biennial vegetation may have stems that die by the end of the growing season, but parts of the plant survive under or near the ground from season to season (for biennials, until the next growing season, when they rose and expire). New expansion develops from living cells remaining 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 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 and most grasses. In comparison, non-herbaceous perennial crops are woody plant life which have stems above surface that remain alive during the dormant season and expand shoots the next season from the above-ground parts - these include trees, shrubs and vines.
