Double White Freesia
Discover the enchanting 'Double White' Freesia, a tropical corm that promises weeks of fragrant, creamy white double blooms.

While thriving in sunny spots with well-drained soil in zones 9 and 10, northern gardeners can enjoy its beauty as an annual by storing corms over winter. Reaching 12-16 inches in height and spread, these freesias add a charming, old-fashioned touch to beds, borders, or containers, blooming vibrantly in spring.

What customers say
Customer feedback highlights a clear split regarding the Double White Freesia bulbs, focusing intensely on reliability versus potential quality. When successful, buyers rave about the powerful, sweet fragrance and the elegant, pure white double blooms, often noting their impressive size and lasting beauty. This group finds the resulting flowers outstanding. Conversely, a significant number of customers report frustration due to inconsistent performance, citing poor germination or bulbs that fail to sprout entirely. This lack of consistent viability is the main detractor from the overall rating. While the aesthetic and olfactory rewards are exceptional when the bulbs thrive, ensuring reliable sprouting is key to boosting overall customer satisfaction.
