Know before you buy
These freesias are excellent for container planting. Ensure your pot has good drainage and is deep enough to accommodate the 2.5-inch planting depth.
Whether these act as perennials or annuals depends on your USDA hardiness zone. In milder climates, they can return annually, but in colder regions, they are typically treated as annuals unless lifted and stored for the winter.
Once established, these plants have low water requirements. They prefer average soil moisture but are quite resilient, making them a great choice for low-maintenance gardens.
Yes, these freesias are considered deer resistant. While no plant is entirely deer-proof, they are generally ignored by deer, making them a safer choice for gardens prone to browsing.
Each order includes 25 bulbs. For the best display, plant them 2 to 3 inches apart at a depth of 2.5 inches.
These bulbs thrive in both full sun and partial shade. While they bloom best with plenty of sunlight, they are versatile enough to handle areas with light afternoon shade.
