Fragrant freesia collection
freesia collection
These cottage garden favourites produce sprays of fragrant, funnel-shaped flowers at the ends of arching, branched stems in summer. A favourite with the florists, they look superb planted in a mixed border or just en masse in patio pots.
How to care for Freesia collection:
In spring, plant 8cm (3in) deep in soil in full sun. After flower buds appear, water regularly and feed with a liquid fertiliser every week. After flowering, reduce the watering until the corms are dry, then store in a frost-free place until planting for next year.
What's included:
Each collection contains 60 corms - 20 of each of the following:
Freesia 'White': Pure white, trumpet-shaped blooms with a sweet fragrance are carried on slender, arching stems, making this freesia a classic choice for cut flowers. In the garden, it brightens borders and containers, adding elegance and scent through the summer months. Grows to 25cm.
Freesia 'Golden Yellow': A beautiful flowering bulb bursting with bright, sunshine-yellow trumpet blooms carried on graceful, arching stems. Wonderfully fragrant and long-lasting, the flowers are perfect for cutting and add vibrant colour to borders, pots, and summer displays. Grows to 25cm.
Freesia 'Blue Moon': This flowering bulb produces elegant, upright stems topped with clusters of trumpet-shaped blooms in shades of soft lavender-blue with a delicate fragrance.
