Know before you buy
These Freesia bulbs thrive in USDA hardiness zones 8 through 11. If you live in a colder climate, you can still enjoy them by planting them in containers and moving them indoors before the first frost.
For the best results, plant your Freesias in a location that receives full sun to partial shade. While they are adaptable, at least six hours of sunlight will encourage the most robust flowering.
Yes, their compact size and clumping growth habit make them excellent candidates for containers. Ensure your pot has good drainage to prevent the corms from rotting.
Absolutely. The fragrant, nectar-rich blooms are highly effective at attracting pollinators, including bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.
Yes, this variety is considered deer resistant. While no plant is entirely deer-proof, these are generally avoided by deer in most garden settings.
Plant the corms 2 to 3 inches deep with a spacing of 2 to 3 inches between each bulb. This spacing allows the plants enough room to develop their clumping habit without overcrowding.
