The double yellow freesia is an aromatic bulb that can reach 0.30 meters in height. It is planted in the Autumn and blooms approximately 12-13 weeks after planting.
It blooms with colorful and fragrant flowers, on elongated stems 20-40 cm high. It flowers from late winter to early spring, with double yellow flowers that form original one-sided inflorescences, vertical to the main stem of the plant.
It is demanding in well-draining soils and regular watering, while it does not thrive in soils with too much organic matter. If planted in such soils, it creates many leaves and few flowers.
The ideal substrate for planting freesia in containers is a mixture of potting soil, leaf mold, and well-rotted manure in equal proportions. After blooming and when the leaves dry out, the bulbs can be uprooted and stored in a dry and dark place until autumn, when they will be replanted.
It beautifully decorates flowerbeds and all pots, as long as they receive at least 4 hours of direct sunlight daily. In vases, freesias have amazing behavior, lasting a long time and emitting their wonderful fragrance. It is a plant sensitive to very low temperatures and is not suitable for areas with temperatures below 0°C.
