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 indigenous to the eastern part of southern Africa, from Kenya south to South Africa, most varieties being within Cape Provinces. Kinds of the former genus Anomatheca are actually included in Freesia. The plant life commonly known as "freesias", with fragrant funnel-shaped bouquets, are cultivated hybrids of a number of Freesia species. Some other kinds are also grown as ornamental plants.
They are herbaceous plant life which develop from a conical corm 1-2.5 cm size, which directs up a tuft of small 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 types have fragrant narrowly funnel-shaped flowers, although those previously put in the genus Anomatheca, such as F. laxa, have level flowers. Freesias are used as food vegetation by the larvae of some Lepidoptera kinds including Large Yellow Underwing.
CULTIVATION AND USES
The vegetation usually called "freesias" derive from crosses made in the 19th century between F. refracta and F. leichtlinii. Numerous cultivars have been bred from these varieties and the pink- and yellow-flowered varieties of F. corymbosa. Modern tetraploid cultivars have flowers which range from white to yellowish, pink, red and blue-mauve. They may be mostly cultivated skillfully in holland by about 80 growers.[3] Freesias can be quickly increased from seed. Because of the specific and pleasing scent, they are often used in side ointments, shampoos, candles, etc.[citation needed], however, the blooms are mainly utilized in wedding bouquets. They could be planted in the street to redemption in USDA Hardiness Zones 9-10 (i.e. where the temperature does not show up below about -7 ?C (20 ?F)), and in the planting season in Zones 4-8.
Freesia laxa (formerly called Lapeirousia laxa or Anomatheca cruenta) is one of the other species of the genus which is often cultivated. Smaller than the scented freesia cultivars, it offers flat rather than cup-shaped flowers. Extensive 'forcing' of the bulb occurs in Half Moon Bay in California where several growers chill the lights in proprietary solutions to satisfy frosty dormancy which results in creation of buds in just a predicted quantity of weeks - often 5 weeks at 55 ?F (13 ?C).
Herbaceous plants (in botanical use frequently simply natural remedies) are plants which may have no continual woody stem above earth. 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 got flowered and fruited, plus they then expand again from seed. Herbaceous perennial and biennial plants may have stems that die by the end of the growing season, but parts of the plant make it through under or near to the bottom from season to season (for biennials, until the next growing season, when they bloom and perish). New growth advances from living tissue left over on or under the bottom, including origins, a caudex (a thickened portion of the stem at ground level) or various types of underground stems, such as light bulbs, corms, stolons, rhizomes and tubers. Types 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 vegetation are woody crops that have stems above surface that stay alive through the dormant season and increase shoots another 12 months from the above-ground parts - included in these are trees and shrubs, shrubs and vines.
