Freesia is a genus of herbaceous perennial flowering crops 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 really is indigenous to the eastern area 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 plants often called "freesias", with fragrant funnel-shaped blooms, are cultivated hybrids of a number of Freesia species. Some other species are also grown as ornamental plant life.
They can be herbaceous crops 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 large bearing a few leaves and a loose one-sided spike of plants with six tepals. Many species have fragrant narrowly funnel-shaped plants, although those previously put in the genus Anomatheca, such as F. laxa, have flat flowers. Freesias are being used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera kinds including Large Yellowish Underwing.
CULTIVATION AND USES
The plants usually called "freesias" are derived from crosses made 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 varieties of F. corymbosa. Modern tetraploid cultivars have plants which range from white to yellow, pink, red and blue-mauve. They can be mostly cultivated properly in holland by about 80 growers.[3] Freesias can be quickly increased from seed. Because of their specific and satisfying scent, they are generally used in palm ointments, shampoos, candles, etc.[citation needed], however, the blooms are mainly utilized in wedding bouquets. They can be planted in the fall season in USDA Hardiness Zones 9-10 (i.e. where the temperature will not land below about -7 ?C (20 ?F)), and in the spring in Areas 4-8.
Freesia laxa (formerly called Lapeirousia laxa or Anomatheca cruenta) is one of the other kinds of the genus which is commonly cultivated. Smaller than the scented freesia cultivars, it has flat rather than cup-shaped flowers. Extensive 'forcing' of the bulb occurs in two Moon Bay in California where several growers chill the lights in proprietary methods to satisfy cold dormancy which results in development of buds within a predicted number of weeks - often 5 weeks at 55 ?F (13 ?C).
Herbaceous vegetation (in botanical use frequently simply herbal remedies) are plant life which have no continual woody stem above floor. Herbaceous plant life may be annuals, biennials or perennials. Annual herbaceous plants expire 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 vegetation may have stems that die by the end of the growing season, but elements of the plant endure under or near to the ground from season to season (for biennials, before next growing season, when they bloom and perish). New progress develops from living tissues remaining on or under the ground, including origins, a caudex (a thickened part of the stem at ground level) or numerous kinds of underground stems, such as 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. In comparison, non-herbaceous perennial plant life are woody vegetation that have stems above surface that remain alive through the dormant season and expand shoots the next yr from the above-ground parts - these include trees, shrubs and vines.
