About this item

  • Where to Plant

    Freesias do best in a warm, sheltered environment with plenty of sun. Indoors, place pots of freesias in a well-lit spot on a windowsill, in a porch, or conservatory. However, conditions must not be too warm: a maximum of 15°C is the optimum for freesias, as warmer conditions result in spindly growth and flowers that quickly fade.
    Outdoors, grow in pots, or plant in the ground so long as the soil is well drained. Raised beds are ideal for growing freesias as the soil usually drains well and their delicate, exotic appearance and scent can be more easily appreciated than if growing at ground level.

  • When to Plant

    Planting time depends on whether you're growing freesias for indoor or outdoor flowering. For indoor growing, plant freesia bulbs in autumn, and they'll flower in late winter. To grow freesias in indoor pots for early summer flowering, plant them from January to March under cover. To grow freesias outdoors, plant from April to June.

    • How to Plant

      Freesias are versatile and can be grown in pots indoors or outdoors, or in the ground. Freesias aren’t frost-hardy so can only be planted outdoors in spring or early summer.
      Well-drained soil or potting compost is essential as freesias are likely to rot in heavy or waterlogged soil. In pots, use a soil-based potting compost mixed with around a quarter to a third by volume of coarse grit.
      There's no need to soak freesia bulbs before planting. Plant the long, slender freesia bulbs pointy-end up, at a depth of 3-5cm, and spaced 5cm apart.
      Once planted, water well and then stand the pot in a cool, shaded, frost free place â€?a temperature of around 5°C is ideal. After 3-4 weeks when shoots appear, move into a warmer and sunny position.

    • How to Grow

      For indoor growing, plant freesia bulbs (corms) in autumn to bloom in late winter. To grow freesias in indoor pots for early summer flowering, plant from January to March under cover. To grow outdoors, plant from April to June.
      Plant freesia corms in well-drained soil or potting compost pointy-end up, at a depth of 3-5cm, and spaced 5cm apart. Water well and then stand the pot in a cool, shaded, frost free place â€?a temperature of around 5°C is ideal. After 3-4 weeks when shoots appear, move into a warmer and sunny position

    • How to care for freesias

      Water freesias regularly once growth appears, aiming to keep the compost moist, but take care not to over-water. Start feeding freesias when the flower buds start to form. Use a liquid fertilizer high in potash and apply every 10-14 days.
      Supporting freesia flowers in some way is necessary to stop the stems flopping over, regardless of whether they’re growing in pots or in the ground. Either buy ready-made supports or use twiggy sticks pushed into the soil.
      Freesia bulbs are not frost hardy so if you're growing them outside you'll need to dig them up, dry them and store them to replant the following year. When flowering has finished, simply cut off the faded flower stems and reduce watering gradually as the leaves turn yellow and die. Once the leaves have died back completely, lift the corms from the soil. Once lifted, put them in a warm place for several months to ripen the corms, mimicking the conditions of a South African summer. Then, store in a paper bag in a cool frost-free place to plant the following year. The effects of the heat treatment will have worn off so the saved corms can only be planted in spring..

    • How to propagate freesias

      Freesias can be grown from seed, sown into potting compost with added grit or perlite, in autumn or winter. Seed-raised plants can take a couple of years to become large enough to bloom.
      Small offsets or tiny corms can be detached from the original corms when lifting in autumn. These can be planted individually in small pots in spring, to grow on into larger corms. Again flowering can take a year or more.

    • Pests and diseases

      Freesia leaves go yellow and the corms are likely to rot if the soil or compost become waterlogged. Pot-grown freesias should be checked after watering to ensure they’re not sitting in water.
      Under cover, pests such as red spider mite and aphids may appear. Inspect the undersides of leaves regularly for signs of mottling caused by the tiny red spider mite, or for clusters of aphids. Improving humidity can deter red spider might, while a jet of water, soap spray or biological control can be used to combat aphids and other pests.

    Flower Bulb Facts of Life

    Bulbs: Beauty In a Bottle:

    Bulbs are a natural product. And, as such, follow a natural cycle of growth and rebirth. Enjoying their fabulous flowers means planting ahead in one season then results the next. Bulbs are among the easiest flowers to grow, not only are they affordable, but bulbs offer the most stunning colors available. Even the most novice gardener can create a breathtakingly beautiful spring garden with bulbs.

    What's a Bulb?

    A flower bulb is really a self-contained flower factory. Within this marvelous little package is nearly everything the flower needs to come to life! Split a bulb open, for instance, and you'll see its baby flower bud, leaves, roots, stem and food supply. All bulbs need from you is to be placed in the ground at the appropriate season of year, given a liberal drink of water then left to work their magic.

    Variety:

    Flower bulbs come in seemingly limitless varieties which makes them perfectly suitable for any garden design you can dream up.

    Is It a bulb ?

    The Difference Between Bulbs, Corms, Tubers, Roots,Today, people commonly us the term 'bulb' to refer to any plant that stores its own food underground. But, in truth, many popular 'bulbs' are not true bulbs at all. These include corms, tubers and roots and, while they all produce beautiful flowers, technically the plants are different

    When To Plant

    In fall, after soil temperatures are below 50ºF/10ºC. These bulbs bloom the following spring and require the cold winter temperatures for development. But let's say winter arrives and your bulbs are still in their bag. Not to worry! Bulbs are pre-programmed to grow so even if you have to plant through snow, plant your bulbs!

    How To Plant

    Most bulbs thrive in either full or partial sun and in almost any location with good drainage. Avoid planting at the base of hills or under drainage pipes where water collects and will rot the bulbs.

    • Dig a hole
    • Drop in the bulb
    • Water thoroughly

    Tips For success

    • A larger grouping of flower bulbs are far more fab than just a few planted here and there. Think clumps of color.
    • Buy the largest bulbs you can find.
    • Note the flowering times. Not all bulbs will bloom at the same time. A little planning will greatly increase the number of months you will enjoy bulb flowers.

    Passionate About bulbs

    Generally speaking, the best predictor for gardening success is bulb size. Almost always, the larger the initial bulb size planted, the larger and stronger the plants will be, producing more flowers. The first year end result will be noticeable to anyone.The best predictor for gardening success is bulb size.

    Great Sunscreen at a Great Price!
    Style: SPF 50, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
    Love this sunscreen. I live in FL and like to walk most mornings, and need a good sunblock. This Amazon Basics is far better than my previous, far more expensive brand. It's a great price for great quality. I've been using it on my body & face, it's non-greasy, absorbs well, and really seems to offer very good sun protection. And I really appreciate the next day shipping on my past two orders, Amazon. Thanks for the great product & great service!

    Works when working outside and heavy activities
    Style: SPF 50, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
    I use it as an Amazon delivery driver, and it works in the heat and sweat is no issue it does last for 2 hours. Reapplying it is extremely easy, no burns or sun damage to my skin. I can tell you it works cause I’m recovering from skin cancer and it works no problems or anything.

    Just ok - too thick to apply evenly
    Style: SPF 50, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
    Just ok - very thick, so difficult to apply evenly. I use this for outdoor cycling and it works, but it's so thick that it tends to clump instead of smoothly covering the skin.

    Best Moisturizer & Clears ECZEMA FAST! TIPS & BONUS USES
    Size: 11 Ounce (Pack of 1)
    After wasting money on many supermarket and expensive brands, this is the only one that really works! I don't have eczema, but another friend does, who first told me about this product. I do have dry skin, though, whenever I over wash my hands due to chores, repairs or taking care of family, and the dry indoor heat or coldness of winter weather. My friend with eczema swears by this. She's tried other brands and even prescriptions, which have side effects (steroids thin the skin and is bad for your immunity). When her skin had cracks or is itchy, she applies it, and it heals up within a few days. She uses it also as maintenance daily, to prevent future outbreaks or skin cracking. There's the regular "Aveeno Eczema Therapy" in a tube, but it stings at first if you have any cracks in the skin, which subsides after a few minutes, but it works faster with sealing up cracks. I love this product because it's very rich, but not too greasy. It doesn't sting if you have skin cracks, and is gentler and still works well, but it takes a little bit longer. It's even more effective than the regular "Aveeno Baby Eczema Care" creme in a tube. I prefer jars because there's always some product left in a tube. You can't squeeze out what's left at the bottom, and have to cut the tube apart to get at it. AMAZON HAS THE BEST PRICE, that I've seen online or off. It's also available in the Baby Section only at stores like supermarkets, pharmacies, etc., but this is the lowest price. SUBSCRIBE, and you can save even more. DO NOT BUY ANY GENERICS! They don't work! I've tried buying them, since it looked like they had the same ingredients, and costs less, but they are simply not efficacious. USE WATER TO KEEP MOISTURE IN: Surprisingly enough, it's not the moisturizer per se that keeps your skin hydrated, it's water. For example, think of a grape (full, plump with water, juicy), versus a prune (a dried out grape). Moisturizer provides a physical barrier to keep your skin hydrated. Of course, a moisturizer's ingredients can also make it a superior or inferior product. The Aveeno Eczema line has colloidal oatmeal, which is soothing, and healing to the skin. HOW TO USE WATER WITH MOISTURIZER: Wet the application areas with water first (I run my hands lightly under the tap), so the product will absorb faster (water hydrates when mixed with moisturizer), and it won't be greasy. Your skin will feel non-greasy, and not wet within a few minutes. Use a paper towel or tissues to lightly wipe off the excess, and you can use your hands right away. I find that this method keeps my skin hydrated more effectively and longer. YOU'LL USE LESS CREAM WITH WATER: I use only a tablespoon size, and spread it all over my hands, and along my forearms and elbows. Water thins and spreads out the cream more easily. You can use it on DRY, CRACKED FEET, too. Apply it throughout the day after you wash your hands and before bed, and you'll never get dry skin or eczema outbreaks again! (Per me and my circle of friends). BUY SEVERAL JARS, and scatter around them the house, like the bathrooms, kitchen, work areas, etc. BONUS USES: 1. INSECT BITES: A friend reported that it even works in a pinch to help alleviate bug bites that she's gotten (fleas from animal rescue, mosquitoes, etc). Wash the area or use an alcoholic sanitizer or baby wipes to clean the bite area first. Then spread on Aveeno, if you don't have an antihistamine topical product handy. ALOE VERA GEL FROM THE PLANT also has miraculous healing powers with insect bites, burns, skin rashes, etc. You just cut a small piece at an angle, open it up with scissors along the leaf's seam, and apply the gel. You can wrap a bandage or strip of clean cloth lightly over the area to keep the gel in place, if you want. The cut plant area will close by itself within a day. Aloe vera is sold cheap at supermarkets, nurseries, etc., at under $10. The gel feels cool and soothing to the skin. The plant is superior to any packaged product. DO NOT SCRATCH THE ITCH! IF YOU IGNORE IT, IT'LL DISAPPEAR by itself within a few hours. Trust me, it really works with mosquito bites. I used to itch for days, until I stopped scratching it. Distract yourself by watching tv, reading or using your cell to ignore the itch, and just lightly apply your best anti-itch remedy (DO NOT RUB or you'll stimulate the histamines from the bite). Anytime that you're tempted to scratch, apply your remedy instead. THE BEST THINGS TO STOP ITCHING FAST (In order of effectiveness) are: 1) Anti-histamine topical product 2) Aloe vera gel from the plant (also heals the skin) 3) Aveeno creme (also heals the skin) 4) Alcoholic rub 2. SKIN RASHES: A friend of mine said she was by herself with the baby one day, stuck with no car and husband away, when the diaper creme had run out in the evening. She applied Aveeno several times, and the rash disappeared the next morning. Another friend used Aveeno for a strange rash that showed up on her arm when she accidentally brushed against some plants when hiking, and it disappeared within a few hours. She washed the area first, then applied the cream. Of course, it's best to use a product designed for rashes, especially for babies. And get any mysterious rash checked out by a doctor. Btw, I don't get compensated for any of my reviews. I wanted to give a recommendation for a fantastic moisturizer that I've been using for several years.
