The double purple freesia is a fragrant bulb that can reach 0.30 meters in height. It is planted in the Fall and blooms approximately 12-13 weeks after planting.

This bulbous plant blooms with colorful and fragrant flowers on elongated stems 20-40 cm tall. It flowers from late winter until early spring, with double yellow flowers that form original one-sided inflorescences, upright on the main stem.

It prefers well-draining soils and regular watering but does not thrive in soils with too much organic matter. If planted in such soils, it produces many leaves and few flowers. The ideal substrate for planting freesia in pots is a mixture of garden soil, leaf mold, and well-decayed manure in equal proportions.

After blooming and when the leaves dry out, you can uproot the bulbs and store them in a dry, dark place until Fall, when you can replant them.

It beautifully decorates flowerbeds within the lawn and all pots, as long as they receive at least 4 hours of direct sunlight per day. In vases, freesias behave wonderfully, lasting a long time and emitting their lovely fragrance. It is a plant sensitive to very low temperatures and unsuitable for areas where temperatures drop below 0°C.
