Growing Instructions

Plant Freesia in the spring after all danger of frost has passed. Plant in a full sun to partially shaded location. Freesia loves soil that is rich, porous and drains well but still holds enough water for the roots. If your soil is heavy clay and drains slowly, or very sandy and does not hold water, add organic soil amendments like peat moss or ground bark. Spread a 3-4 inch layer of soil amendment if needed, add fertilizer and incorporate into the soil to a depth of 10 inches. Plant in groups with corms spaced 2-3" apart for the best show. Freesia corms should be planted 1-2" deep. Water thoroughly at planting. Water regularly while growing and in bloom so that water will reach the roots. Mulch to keep the soil cool and to prevent the soil from drying out. Apply fertilizer before and after flowering. In zones 8 and below, corms should be lifted and stored in sand at 50-60ºF to over winter. To avoid soft rot, corms should be dried quickly.

Care Tip

Freesias look best planted in groups. Plant approximately 15 bulbs per square foot. Extend the blooming season in a cut garden by planting a few corms bi-weekly since they bloom 10-12 weeks after planting. Freesia can also be grown in pots indoors.
