Freesia 'Double Mixed'
£3.39
Unit price perEstimated Delivery between January 10 and January 12.
Freesia 'Double Mixed' produces a fragrant mix of double, funnel-shaped flowers on gently arching stems, filling borders and patio pots with colour and a sweet scent. Freesias are also excellent cut flowers and last well in a vase.
Growing to around 25–45 cm, they form narrow, fresh green leaves and send up multiple buds per stem. With warm conditions and bright light, they flower through late summer and into early autumn.
Plant corms in spring in a sunny, sheltered spot with well-drained soil, or start them in pots under cover for earlier growth. Freesias prefer warmth and do best where they are protected from cold winds.
Water after planting and keep compost lightly moist as shoots appear, increasing watering as buds form. Feed weekly with a liquid fertiliser once flower spikes develop, and provide support if stems need it.
Perfect for containers, greenhouse growing, and sunny borders, freesias bring perfume and colour to small spaces. After flowering, reduce watering and store corms dry and frost-free if grown outdoors.

Arrived quickly and well-packaged. Planted them in some pots on the patio and they all came up. Look beautiful. Thank you!

The bulbs arrived beautifully packaged and you could just tell they were excellent quality. We had the most wonderful display of daffodils this spring on our patio. Simply stunning. Will definitely be ordering again

I ordered the mixed hyacinth collection and the scent in my garden this April was absolutely heavenly. Every single bulb produced a strong, beautiful flower and the colours were stunning together. A fantastic purchase, I'll be back for more next year!
