Freesia.jpg

The Freesia is a popular garden plant with a strong perfume which naturalizes easily in frost-free areas. Grown from corms or seed, these plants can do well indoors in pots in a windowsill or in the garden, dug up each winter in colder areas. Flowers range from red, orange, yellow, and white to purple, including multicolors, and come in single or double forms.(more...)
