Description

Freesias are a spring flowering, bulbous plant. Normally grown from corms planted in autumn, freesias have sweet-smelling, white flowers in late winter and/or early spring. This is a species freesia, not a hybrid. The seeds are descended from plants in the garden of a member’s great grandmother. Care should be taken as freesias can be garden escapees. Do NOT allow them to go to seed unless collecting seed.
