Freesia is a genus of herbaceous perennial flowering vegetation 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 really is local to the eastern part of southern Africa, from Kenya south to South Africa, most types being within Cape Provinces. Species of the past genus Anomatheca are now contained in Freesia. The vegetation commonly known as "freesias", with fragrant funnel-shaped blooms, are cultivated hybrids of lots of Freesia kinds. Some other kinds are also grown up as ornamental crops.

They are herbaceous crops which grow from a conical corm 1-2.5 cm diameter, which directs up a tuft of thin 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 blooms with six tepals. Many species have fragrant narrowly funnel-shaped plants, although those formerly put in the genus Anomatheca, such as F. laxa, have smooth flowers. Freesias are being used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera varieties including Large Yellowish Underwing.

CULTIVATION AND USES

The vegetation usually called "freesias" derive from crosses manufactured in the 19th hundred years between F. refracta and F. leichtlinii. Numerous cultivars have been bred from these species and the pink- and yellow-flowered forms of F. corymbosa. Modern tetraploid cultivars have blossoms which range from white to yellowish, red, red and blue-mauve. They are simply mostly cultivated properly in holland by about 80 growers.[3] Freesias can be commonly increased from seed. Because of their specific and desirable scent, they are often used in palm ointments, shampoos, candles, etc.[citation needed], however, the plants are mainly utilized in wedding bouquets. They could be planted in the show up in USDA Hardiness Areas 9-10 (i.e. where the temperature does not land 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 types of the genus which is commonly cultivated. Smaller than the scented freesia cultivars, they have flat rather than cup-shaped plants. Extensive 'forcing' of this bulb occurs in Half Moon Bay in California where several growers chill the light bulbs in proprietary methods to satisfy frigid dormancy which results in creation of buds within a predicted quantity of weeks - often 5 weeks at 55 ?F (13 ?C).

Herbaceous crops (in botanical use frequently simply herbs) are plant life that have no continual woody stem above surface. Herbaceous plants may be annuals, biennials or perennials. Annual herbaceous plants expire completely at the end of the growing season or when they may have flowered and fruited, and they then increase again from seed. Herbaceous perennial and biennial plant life 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 ground from season to season (for biennials, before next growing season, when they bloom and perish). New development evolves from living cells staying on or under the ground, including roots, a caudex (a thickened part of the stem at ground level) or various types 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. In comparison, non-herbaceous perennial plant life are woody vegetation that have stems above surface that stay alive through the dormant season and develop shoots another year from the above-ground parts - included in these are trees, shrubs and vines.
