Freesia Double Mix (Ships in Fall)
Freesia (Freesia)

In zones 9-10, Freesia can be planted in fall for late winter to early spring blooms. In cooler climates, they are best grown as annuals or started indoors for early-season flowering. They thrive in full sun to part shade and prefer well-drained soil, producing 6-12 flowers per stem.

Growing and Maintenance Tips for Freesia Double Mix (Ships in Fall)
Planting: Plant corms in early to mid-fall, about 2 inches deep and 2 to 4 inches apart, with the pointed end facing up. Choose a location with full sun or light morning shade. For a longer bloom season, stagger plantings every 1–2 weeks through late fall.
Location: Full sun is ideal. In warmer regions, light afternoon shade helps extend bloom time.
Soil: Well-drained, sandy or loamy soil with a neutral to slightly acidic pH (6.0–7.0). Raised beds or containers work well if drainage is poor.
Watering: Water after planting and keep soil lightly moist during active growth. Once foliage yellows post-bloom, reduce watering and allow dormancy.
Temperature: Hardy in zones 9–10. In cooler zones, fall planting is not recommended outdoors—plant in containers and overwinter indoors instead.
Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer when shoots emerge and again at bud formation. Avoid high-nitrogen formulas.
Pruning: Deadhead to encourage more blooms. Let foliage die back naturally to feed the corm for next season.
Propagation: Freesia multiplies by offsets. Lift and divide corms every 2–3 years after dormancy.
Pest & Disease: Generally pest-free. Watch for aphids and fungal issues—good air circulation helps.
