Growing Instructions : |
* Locate the best spot for planting your freesia bulbs. Find an area in your yard or garden where the sun usually shines for at least eight to ten hours. Avoid poor-draining areas where water puddles stand more than five hours after heavy rainfall.
* Place your freesia flower bulbs in the ground no more than 1 1/2 inches to 2 inches deep. Allow for at least 3 inches of space between each bulb. Before covering the bulbs with soil, make sure that the root end of the bulb is at the bottom of the hole, and the stem end (pointed part) is upright.
* Water the newly-planted freesia bulbs, making sure that the ground is well soaked, but not flooded to the point where water is seen above the surface of the soil. Water for around three to five minutes (in well-draining soil).
* Expect the first roots and small green shoots or sprouts in the fall. In winter, the plants will increase in height, and the first blooms will appear by spring.
* Cut your mature freesia as often as needed for flower arrangements and bouquets to add color and fragrance to your home's interior décor. As long as the root systems of the plants remain intact, cutting won't harm or damage them.
