Find Your Growing Zone!

The Double Blooming Lavender Freesia (Freesia x hybrida 'Lavender') has everything you love about Lavender Freesia and doubles it! Full ruffled and tightly packed layers of petals in that soft amethyst hue are multiplied in beauty by their peppery sweet scent and symmetrical form!

Featuring strong stems that hold the flowers aloft for bees and butterflies, Freesia grow from underground corms and create small fountains of sword-like green foliage. Flowering in the summer the numerous buds per stalk have a long-lasting flowering time!

Hardy corms in frost-free growing zones, Freesia can be used as seasonal garden and planter accents in cooler climates. Growing fast, these smaller perennial plants grow just 12 inches tall as leafy green clumps, and can reach 24 inches tall when in bloom, with a similar spread at maturity.

Landscape Application:

Florist quality blooms and easy care, the delightful Lavender Double Freesia will add subtle flower power and a peppery sweet perfume to your gardens, planters, and your home! Butterflies and Hummingbirds will appreciate you when you supply them with these nectar-rich blossoms!

Freesias buds appear in mid-spring and are consistently opening from one day to the next and are backed by lush clumps of blade-like green leaves. The strong stems hold themselves high from the plant and look elegant arranged in a bouquet where they perfume your home with their nose-tickling scent!

Because there are numerous buds per stalk that open consecutively from base to tip, they have a long-lasting presence anywhere. Lavender Freesia is year-round hardy throughout USDA growing zones 9 and 10, but are often used as annual accents, houseplants, gifts and container plants in all growing zones.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

When planted properly, Double Freesia blooms profusely and won't disappoint you! Freesia grows best in full sun and handles some afternoon shade in hotter climates. The corms multiply and will naturalize in USDA growing zones 9 and 10, and are easy to grow in sandy, loamy, average, moist well-drained soil. Plant Freesia corms about 2 inches deep, pointy end up. Provide moderate fertility and a 3-4 inch deep layer of mulch over the soils surface.

Northern gardeners In USDA planting zones 1-8 use Freesia as annuals for seasonal container or garden accents, or bring them in for the winter as houseplants. You can also treat these corms as you would Canna and Dahlia, and lift your plants in the fall before a hard frost but after they've gone dormant. Deadhead after flowers fade but keep the leaves so they can make food for the bulb, then trim the leaves down when they turn yellow.
