Kick back and enjoy smelling the sweet peppery perfume of your dramatic Double Red Freesia (Freesia Double Red cultivar) on a steamy summer porch or patio! The unique bright red flowers appear in spires with the flowers all growing upright off the stems, each taking their turn to bloom from bottom to tip. Giving you a long-lasting season of bloom starting in the late spring!
This plant is a favorite of florists with its incredibly captivating double-petalled red blooms! As cut flowers, they last an impressive length of time in the vase and scent your home with spicy sweet fragrance. Outdoors, Hummingbirds and pollinators flock to the brilliant color and their ample nectar resource!
Double Freesia are considered summer-flowering bulbs, known as corms, which grow quickly to a 1-2 foot tall clump over time and can spread up to 2 feet wide. Warm winter areas throughout USDA growing zones 8 - 10 allow these plants to remain perennial and form clumps of green swords and bright red blooms.
Planting and Application:
Create groupings in your garden beds to maximize the brilliant color of these blooms and the gentle fringe-like effect of the foliage. They do beautifully in a vase as well as containers and your garden beds and borders! Add to sun gardens as gorgeous red edging, as crimson ribbons of late-spring color, or as pretty green fringe once the flowers fade.
Pot up in larger mixed planters or as a solo feature with multiple Freesia clustered together for a beautiful display on sunny porches and patios! Bringing the scent closer to your seating areas and outdoor garden rooms! Anywhere they go, pollinators follow. These plants can be forced indoors and brighten your winter months. Don't forget to give these as vivid gifts!
- Double Petalled Bright Red Blooms
- Peppery Sweet Scent & Pollinators Galore
- Long Slender Green Leaves
- Hardy Perennial Corm or Annual/Seasonal Accent
- Floral Bouquets, Edging, Containers & Sun Garden Focal Points
#ProPlantTips for Care:
Freesia are fall-planted corms that need full sun locations, but tolerate some afternoon shade in the hottest growing zones and bright indirect light indoors. Any rich, well-drained soil in the ground or in containers works great, as does moderate yet regular moisture. These bulbs despise soggy conditions but appreciate a layer of mulch over the soil surface. For growing zones 7 and under, you can lift your corms in the fall once the foliage has yellowed and store them for the winter in a protected location, or grow them indoors as a houseplant or in a greenhouse.
- Full Sun & Partial Shade
- Enriched Well-Drained Soil
- Warm Weather Fall-Planted Bulbs
- Moderate Moisture
- Annual or Perennial Corms
- Deadhead as Flowers Fade & Prune Down When Greenery Yellows
Fiery red double blooms and the spicy sweet Double Red Freesia are easy-to-grow fall-planted bulbs that will delight you and your pollinators! Nature Hills ships your bulbs to your doorstep at the proper planting time for your growing zone!
