Freesia is a genus of herbaceous perennial flowering vegetation 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 native to the eastern part of southern Africa, from Kenya south to South Africa, most species being within Cape Provinces. Species of the ex - genus Anomatheca are now included in Freesia. The plant life often called "freesias", with fragrant funnel-shaped blooms, are cultivated hybrids of lots of Freesia types. Some other varieties are also produced as ornamental plants.
They are really herbaceous plants which develop from a conical corm 1-2.5 cm size, which delivers up a tuft of small leaves 10-30 cm long, and a sparsely branched stem 10-40 cm tall bearing a few leaves and a loose one-sided spike of plants with six tepals. Many kinds have fragrant narrowly funnel-shaped blossoms, although those previously placed in the genus Anomatheca, such as F. laxa, have smooth flowers. Freesias are used as food plant life by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Large Yellowish Underwing.
CULTIVATION AND USES
The crops usually called "freesias" derive from crosses made in the 19th hundred years between F. refracta and F. leichtlinii. Numerous cultivars have been bred from these varieties and the green- and yellow-flowered forms of F. corymbosa. Modern tetraploid cultivars have blooms which range from white to yellow, green, red and blue-mauve. They can be mostly cultivated skillfully in the Netherlands by about 80 growers.[3] Freesias can be conveniently increased from seed. Because of their specific and satisfying scent, they are generally used in side ointments, shampoos, candles, etc.[citation needed], however, the plants are mainly used in wedding bouquets. They can be planted in the show up in USDA Hardiness Areas 9-10 (i.e. where in fact the temperature does not fall season below about -7 ?C (20 ?F)), and in the springtime in Zones 4-8.
Freesia laxa (previously called Lapeirousia laxa or Anomatheca cruenta) is one of the other types of the genus which is often cultivated. Smaller than the scented freesia cultivars, they have flat rather than cup-shaped blooms. Extensive 'forcing' of the bulb occurs in two Moon Bay in California where several growers chill the light bulbs in proprietary methods to satisfy frosty 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 natural herbs) are plants that have no consistent woody stem above surface. Herbaceous crops may be annuals, biennials or perennials. Annual herbaceous plants perish completely by the end of the growing season or when they have flowered and fruited, plus 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 survive under or near the ground from season to season (for biennials, until the next growing season, when they bloom and expire). New expansion produces from living tissues remaining on or under the ground, including root base, a caudex (a thickened portion of the stem at walk out) or various types of underground stems, such as lights, 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. By contrast, non-herbaceous perennial plant life are woody crops which have stems above ground that continue to be alive during the dormant season and grow shoots another season from the above-ground parts - included in these are trees and shrubs, shrubs and vines.
