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 known as after German botanist and doctor Friedrich Freese (1794-1878). It is local to the eastern part of southern Africa, from Kenya south to South Africa, most species being within Cape Provinces. Types of the ex - genus Anomatheca are actually contained in Freesia. The crops often called "freesias", with fragrant funnel-shaped flowers, are cultivated hybrids of lots of Freesia types. Some other varieties are also produced as ornamental plants.
They may be herbaceous plants which increase 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 tall bearing a few leaves and a loose one-sided spike of plants with six tepals. Many varieties have fragrant narrowly funnel-shaped flowers, although those formerly positioned in the genus Anomatheca, such as F. laxa, have toned flowers. Freesias are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera kinds including Large Yellowish Underwing.
CULTIVATION AND USES
The plants usually called "freesias" derive from crosses made in the 19th century between F. refracta and F. leichtlinii. Numerous cultivars have been bred from these kinds and the red- and yellow-flowered kinds of F. corymbosa. Modern tetraploid cultivars have flowers ranging from white to yellow, pink, red and blue-mauve. They are simply mostly cultivated skillfully in holland by about 80 growers.[3] Freesias can be conveniently increased from seed. Because of the specific and pleasing scent, they are often used in side creams, shampoos, candles, etc.[citation needed], however, the blossoms are mainly utilized in wedding bouquets. They can be planted in the show up in USDA Hardiness Zones 9-10 (i.e. where in fact the temperature does not fall season below about -7 ?C (20 ?F)), and in the springtime in Areas 4-8.
Freesia laxa (formerly called Lapeirousia laxa or Anomatheca cruenta) is one of the other species of the genus which is commonly cultivated. Smaller than the scented freesia cultivars, it offers flat alternatively than cup-shaped blooms. Extensive 'forcing' of the bulb occurs in Half Moon Bay in California where several growers chill the lights in proprietary solutions to satisfy frigid dormancy which results in creation of buds inside a predicted range of weeks - often 5 weeks at 55 ?F (13 ?C).
Herbaceous vegetation (in botanical use frequently simply herbal remedies) are plants which have no prolonged woody stem above surface. Herbaceous crops 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 develop again from seed. Herbaceous perennial and biennial plants may have stems that pass away at the end of the growing season, but elements of the plant make it through under or near to the ground from season to season (for biennials, until the next growing season, when they rose and perish). New expansion grows from living tissues staying on or under the ground, including origins, a caudex (a thickened part of the stem at ground level) or various types of underground stems, such as lights, 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 crops are woody vegetation that have stems above earth that stay alive during the dormant season and grow shoots another 12 months from the above-ground parts - included in these are trees, shrubs and vines.
