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 known as after German botanist and doctor Friedrich Freese (1794-1878). It is indigenous to the eastern part of southern Africa, from Kenya south to South Africa, most species being found in Cape Provinces. Types of the past genus Anomatheca are actually contained in Freesia. The vegetation often called "freesias", with fragrant funnel-shaped bouquets, are cultivated hybrids of lots of Freesia types. Some other varieties are also grown up as ornamental plant life.

They are really herbaceous plant life which grow from a conical corm 1-2.5 cm diameter, which delivers up a tuft of slim leaves 10-30 cm long, and a sparsely branched stem 10-40 cm high bearing a few leaves and a loose one-sided spike of blossoms with six tepals. Many species have fragrant narrowly funnel-shaped bouquets, although those previously put in the genus Anomatheca, such as F. laxa, have level flowers. Freesias are being used as food vegetation by the larvae of some Lepidoptera types including Large Yellow Underwing.

CULTIVATION AND USES

The vegetation usually called "freesias" derive from crosses made in the 19th century between F. refracta and F. leichtlinii. Numerous cultivars have been bred from these types and the pink- and yellow-flowered forms of F. corymbosa. Modern tetraploid cultivars have plants which range from white to yellowish, pink, red and blue-mauve. They can be mostly cultivated skillfully in holland by about 80 growers.[3] Freesias can be quickly increased from seed. Because of the specific and attractive scent, they are often used in palm creams, shampoos, candles, etc.[citation needed], however, the flowers are mainly used in wedding bouquets. They can be planted in the land in USDA Hardiness Areas 9-10 (i.e. where in fact the temperature will not show up 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 types of the genus which is commonly cultivated. Smaller than the scented freesia cultivars, it has flat rather than cup-shaped blossoms. Extensive 'forcing' of the bulb occurs in Half Moon Bay in California where several growers chill the lights in proprietary solutions to satisfy cold dormancy which results in formation of buds in a predicted quantity of weeks - often 5 weeks at 55 ?F (13 ?C).

Herbaceous vegetation (in botanical use frequently simply herbal selections) are plants which have no prolonged woody stem above surface. Herbaceous plant life may be annuals, biennials or perennials. Annual herbaceous plants pass away completely by the end of the growing season or when they have flowered and fruited, and they then develop again from seed. Herbaceous perennial and biennial plants may have stems that die at the end of the growing season, but elements of the plant make it through under or close to the ground from season to season (for biennials, until the next growing season, when they blossom and expire). New growth grows from living cells staying on or under the ground, including origins, a caudex (a thickened portion of the stem at walk out) or various types of underground stems, such as 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 crops which have stems above ground that stay alive during the dormant season and develop shoots the next season from the above-ground parts - included in these are trees, shrubs and vines.

Freesia is a genus of herbaceous perennial flowering plants 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 is native to the eastern side of southern Africa, from Kenya south to South Africa, most types being within Cape Provinces. Types of the past genus Anomatheca are actually included in Freesia. The crops commonly known as "freesias", with fragrant funnel-shaped bouquets, are cultivated hybrids of a number of Freesia types. Some other types are also harvested as ornamental crops.

These are herbaceous plants which develop from a conical corm 1-2.5 cm diameter, which directs up a tuft of narrow 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 flowers with six tepals. Many types have fragrant narrowly funnel-shaped plants, 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 varieties including Large Yellowish Underwing.

CULTIVATION AND USES

The plant life usually called "freesias" are derived from crosses manufactured in the 19th century between F. refracta and F. leichtlinii. Numerous cultivars have been bred from these types and the green- and yellow-flowered types of F. corymbosa. Modern tetraploid cultivars have blossoms which range from white to yellowish, pink, red and blue-mauve. They are mostly cultivated appropriately in the Netherlands by about 80 growers.[3] Freesias can be readily increased from seed. Because of their specific and desirable scent, they are generally used in palm lotions, shampoos, candles, etc.[citation needed], however, the blooms are mainly utilized in wedding bouquets. They could be planted in the fall in USDA Hardiness Areas 9-10 (i.e. where the temperature will not show up 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 varieties of the genus which is commonly cultivated. Smaller than the scented freesia cultivars, it includes 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 solutions to satisfy chilly dormancy which results in formation of buds within a predicted volume of weeks - often 5 weeks at 55 ?F (13 ?C).

Herbaceous vegetation (in botanical use frequently simply natural remedies) are vegetation that have no consistent woody stem above surface. Herbaceous vegetation may be annuals, biennials or perennials. Annual herbaceous plants expire completely by the end of the growing season or when they may have flowered and fruited, and they then expand again from seed. Herbaceous perennial and biennial plant life may have stems that pass away at the end of the growing season, but elements of the plant survive under or near the ground from season to season (for biennials, before next growing season, when they flower and pass away). New development develops from living cells staying on or under the bottom, including roots, a caudex (a thickened portion of the stem at walk out) or numerous kinds 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 plant life that have stems above surface that stay alive through the dormant season and develop shoots another 12 months from the above-ground parts - included in these are trees and shrubs, shrubs and vines.
