RE: Freesias mark the beginning of Spring
Their bright colours and heavy perfume make freesia a popular cut flower. Freesias are native to South Africa where they are winter growing plants and are frost tender. The modern hybrid freesias, Freesia × kewensis, are derived from crosses between Freesia refracta and Freesia armstrongii. Prepared corms planted outside in April will flower in late summer or they can be grown in a cool greenhouse for spring flowering.
