Know before you buy
Yes, these bulbs are excellent for containers. Their compact height of 12 to 18 inches makes them well-suited for pots, provided you use well-draining soil and ensure they receive sufficient sunlight.
These Freesias are perennials only in USDA Hardiness Zones 8 through 11. If you live in a colder climate, you will need to treat them as annuals or lift the corms in the fall to store them indoors over winter.
Plant your Freesia corms at a depth of 2 to 3 inches. Space them about 2 to 3 inches apart to allow for proper airflow and growth.
No, these Freesias are considered deer and rabbit resistant. They are a great choice if you have frequent visitors in your garden that tend to snack on your plants.
Double Lemon Freesia is known for an extended bloom season during the spring. Because they are highly fragrant and hold up well, they are also excellent for cutting and bringing indoors for arrangements.
For the best results, plant them in a location that receives full sun to partial shade. They thrive in bright, sunny spots, which helps support their vibrant yellow color and fragrance.
