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 really is local to the eastern aspect of southern Africa, from Kenya south to South Africa, most varieties being within Cape Provinces. Species of the previous genus Anomatheca are actually contained in Freesia. The crops often called "freesias", with fragrant funnel-shaped bouquets, are cultivated hybrids of lots of Freesia kinds. Some other kinds are also grown as ornamental plants.
These are herbaceous crops which expand from a conical corm 1-2.5 cm diameter, which transmits up a tuft of slim 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 blooms with six tepals. Many varieties have fragrant narrowly funnel-shaped blooms, although those formerly placed in the genus Anomatheca, such as F. laxa, have toned flowers. Freesias are being used as food vegetation by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Large Yellow Underwing.
CULTIVATION AND USES
The crops usually called "freesias" are derived from crosses manufactured in the 19th century between F. refracta and F. leichtlinii. Numerous cultivars have been bred from these types and the pink- and yellow-flowered kinds of F. corymbosa. Modern tetraploid cultivars have flowers ranging from white to yellowish, pink, red and blue-mauve. They are simply mostly cultivated professionally in holland by about 80 growers.[3] Freesias can be commonly increased from seed. Because of the specific and desirable scent, they are often used in side lotions, shampoos, candles, etc.[citation needed], however, the flowers are mainly utilized in wedding bouquets. They can be planted in the fall season in USDA Hardiness Areas 9-10 (i.e. where the temperature will not show up below about -7 ?C (20 ?F)), and in the spring and coil in Areas 4-8.
Freesia laxa (previously called Lapeirousia laxa or Anomatheca cruenta) is one of the other kinds of the genus which is often cultivated. Smaller than the scented freesia cultivars, it has flat rather than cup-shaped blossoms. Extensive 'forcing' of this bulb occurs in Half Moon Bay in California where several growers chill the lights in proprietary solutions to satisfy frigid dormancy which results in development of buds in just a predicted quantity of weeks - often 5 weeks at 55 ?F (13 ?C).
Herbaceous vegetation (in botanical use frequently simply natural remedies) are plants which may have no persistent woody stem above ground. Herbaceous vegetation may be annuals, biennials or perennials. Total annual herbaceous plants perish completely at the end of the growing season or when they have flowered and fruited, plus they then develop again from seed. Herbaceous perennial and biennial vegetation may have stems that die at the end of the growing season, but parts of the plant survive under or close to the ground from season to season (for biennials, until the next growing season, when they flower and perish). New expansion grows from living tissues remaining on or under the ground, including origins, a caudex (a thickened part of the stem at walk out) or numerous kinds of underground stems, such as light 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 vegetation are woody crops which have stems above earth that remain alive through the dormant season and increase shoots the next year from the above-ground parts - included in these are trees and shrubs, shrubs and vines.
