Best low-maintenance choice for gardeners seeking fragrant, pest-resistant seasonal blooms.
Elevate your garden with Freesia Double White bulbs, offering beautiful blooms that appear when other plants may not be at their peak. These bulbs are exceptionally easy to plant and care for, promising larger, more impressive blooms. As tropical plants, they thrive in USDA Zones 9-11 and are grown as annuals in cooler regions. In their hardy zones, they provide vibrant color during the cooler months before going dormant in the heat. With approximately 110 days to bloom, starting them in pots is recommended for best results in cooler climates.

Know before you buy
Yes, but you will need to treat them as annuals. In cooler regions, it is best to start them in pots so you can move them indoors or to a protected area if temperatures drop too low.
Plant each bulb 2 inches deep and space them 2 inches apart. This spacing is ideal for creating a dense, lush look in borders or mass plantings.
No, these are actually a great choice for pest-prone areas. Freesia Double White bulbs are naturally resistant to deer, rodents, rabbits, and squirrels.
Once the plants reach maturity, which takes approximately 110 days, you can expect a bloom duration of 2 to 4 weeks.
They perform best in full sun but can also tolerate partial shade. If you live in a very hot climate, partial shade during the hottest part of the day can help protect the blooms.
Absolutely. Their impressive, double blooms and long stems make them an excellent choice for fresh-cut floral arrangements.
