Freesia is a genus of herbaceous perennial flowering plant life in the family Iridaceae, first referred to 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 native to the eastern aspect of southern Africa, from Kenya south to South Africa, most varieties being found in Cape Provinces. Kinds of the former genus Anomatheca are now included in Freesia. The vegetation often called "freesias", with fragrant funnel-shaped blooms, are cultivated hybrids of lots of Freesia species. Some other types are also grown up as ornamental plant life.
These are herbaceous crops which grow from a conical corm 1-2.5 cm size, which transmits up a tuft of slim 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 plants with six tepals. Many types have fragrant narrowly funnel-shaped flowers, although those formerly placed in the genus Anomatheca, such as F. laxa, have chiseled flowers. Freesias are used as food vegetation by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Large Yellow Underwing.
CULTIVATION AND USES
The vegetation usually called "freesias" are derived from crosses made in the 19th century between F. refracta and F. leichtlinii. Numerous cultivars have been bred from these kinds and the green- and yellow-flowered kinds of F. corymbosa. Modern tetraploid cultivars have plants ranging from white to yellow, pink, red and blue-mauve. These are mostly cultivated professionally in the Netherlands by about 80 growers.[3] Freesias can be immediately increased from seed. Due to their specific and attractive scent, they are generally used in palm lotions, shampoos, candles, etc.[citation needed], however, the bouquets are mainly used in wedding bouquets. They could be planted in the land in USDA Hardiness Zones 9-10 (i.e. where the temperature does not show up below about -7 ?C (20 ?F)), and in the spring and coil in Zones 4-8.
Freesia laxa (previously 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 includes flat rather than cup-shaped blossoms. Extensive 'forcing' of this bulb occurs in Half Moon Bay in California where several growers chill the light bulbs in proprietary solutions to satisfy frosty dormancy which results in formation of buds in a predicted amount of weeks - often 5 weeks at 55 ?F (13 ?C).
Herbaceous crops (in botanical use frequently simply herbal selections) are crops that contain no consistent woody stem above surface. Herbaceous vegetation may be annuals, biennials or perennials. Total annual herbaceous plants expire completely at the end of the growing season or when they have got 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 elements of the plant survive under or near the ground from season to season (for biennials, until the next growing season, when they rose and die). New growth grows from living tissues staying on or under the ground, including root base, a caudex (a thickened part of the stem at ground level) or numerous kinds 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 & most grasses. By contrast, non-herbaceous perennial plants are woody vegetation which have stems above floor that remain alive during the dormant season and increase shoots the next yr from the above-ground parts - these include trees, shrubs and vines.
