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 called after German botanist and doctor Friedrich Freese (1794-1878). It really is local to the eastern area of southern Africa, from Kenya south to South Africa, most kinds being within Cape Provinces. Kinds of the former genus Anomatheca are actually contained in Freesia. The plants often called "freesias", with fragrant funnel-shaped plants, are cultivated hybrids of a number of Freesia types. Some other kinds are also expanded as ornamental vegetation.

They may be herbaceous plant life which expand from a conical corm 1-2.5 cm diameter, which sends up a tuft of thin 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 blooms with six tepals. Many species have fragrant narrowly funnel-shaped bouquets, although those previously positioned in the genus Anomatheca, such as F. laxa, have flat flowers. Freesias are being used as food vegetation by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Large Yellow Underwing.

CULTIVATION AND USES

The plant life usually called "freesias" derive from crosses manufactured in the 19th century between F. refracta and F. leichtlinii. Numerous cultivars have been bred from these species and the red- and yellow-flowered varieties of F. corymbosa. Modern tetraploid cultivars have bouquets which range from white to yellowish, green, red and blue-mauve. These are mostly cultivated properly in holland by about 80 growers.[3] Freesias can be conveniently increased from seed. Because of the specific and attractive scent, they are generally used in side products, shampoos, candles, etc.[citation needed], however, the bouquets are mainly used in wedding bouquets. They can be planted in the fall in USDA Hardiness Zones 9-10 (i.e. where the temperature does not fall season below about -7 ?C (20 ?F)), and in the planting season in Areas 4-8.

Freesia laxa (previously called Lapeirousia laxa or Anomatheca cruenta) is one of the other varieties of the genus which is commonly cultivated. Smaller than the scented freesia cultivars, it has flat rather than cup-shaped bouquets. Extensive 'forcing' of this bulb occurs in Half Moon Bay in California where several growers chill the light bulbs in proprietary solutions to satisfy chilly dormancy which results in formation of buds inside a predicted amount of weeks - often 5 weeks at 55 ?F (13 ?C).

Herbaceous crops (in botanical use frequently simply herbal selections) are crops which have no consistent woody stem above earth. Herbaceous plant life may be annuals, biennials or perennials. Total annual herbaceous plants pass away completely at the end of the growing season or when they may have flowered and fruited, and they then grow again from seed. Herbaceous perennial and biennial crops may have stems that die by the end of the growing season, but elements of the plant endure under or near the bottom from season to season (for biennials, until the next growing season, when they blossom and expire). New development advances from living tissues staying on or under the ground, including root base, 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 & most grasses. In comparison, non-herbaceous perennial crops are woody vegetation that have stems above floor that stay alive through the dormant season and grow shoots another year from the above-ground parts - these include trees, shrubs and vines.

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 indigenous to the eastern area of southern Africa, from Kenya south to South Africa, most varieties being found in Cape Provinces. Varieties of the past genus Anomatheca are now included in Freesia. The plant life often called "freesias", with fragrant funnel-shaped bouquets, are cultivated hybrids of lots of Freesia varieties. Some other types are also harvested as ornamental plant life.

They are simply herbaceous vegetation which grow from a conical corm 1-2.5 cm diameter, which sends up a tuft of narrow 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 flowers with six tepals. Many varieties have fragrant narrowly funnel-shaped bouquets, although those formerly positioned in the genus Anomatheca, such as F. laxa, have level flowers. Freesias are used as food plant life by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Large Yellow Underwing.

CULTIVATION AND USES

The vegetation usually called "freesias" derive from crosses made in the 19th hundred years between F. refracta and F. leichtlinii. Numerous cultivars have been bred from these kinds and the red- and yellow-flowered varieties of F. corymbosa. Modern tetraploid cultivars have blooms ranging from white to yellow, red, red and blue-mauve. They are mostly cultivated professionally in holland by about 80 growers.[3] Freesias can be easily increased from seed. Because of their specific and attractive scent, they are often used in palm lotions, shampoos, candles, etc.[citation needed], however, the bouquets are mainly utilized in wedding bouquets. They could be planted in the street to redemption in USDA Hardiness Areas 9-10 (i.e. where in fact the temperature will not land below about -7 ?C (20 ?F)), and in the springtime in Zones 4-8.

Freesia laxa (formerly called Lapeirousia laxa or Anomatheca cruenta) is one of the other kinds of the genus which is often cultivated. Smaller than the scented freesia cultivars, it offers flat somewhat than cup-shaped blossoms. Extensive 'forcing' of this bulb occurs in two Moon Bay in California where several growers chill the lights in proprietary methods to satisfy chilly dormancy which results in formation of buds in just a predicted quantity of weeks - often 5 weeks at 55 ?F (13 ?C).

Herbaceous plants (in botanical use frequently simply herbal products) are plant life that contain no consistent woody stem above floor. Herbaceous crops may be annuals, biennials or perennials. Total annual herbaceous plants perish completely by the end of the growing season or when they have flowered and fruited, and they then expand again from seed. Herbaceous perennial and biennial crops may have stems that pass away at the end of the growing season, but parts of the plant make it through under or close to the bottom from season to season (for biennials, before next growing season, when they bloom and die). New growth evolves from living tissues staying on or under the ground, including root base, a caudex (a thickened portion of the stem at ground level) or numerous kinds 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 and most grasses. In comparison, non-herbaceous perennial vegetation are woody vegetation that have stems above surface that continue to be alive through the dormant season and develop shoots the next 12 months from the above-ground parts - these include trees and shrubs, shrubs and vines.
