I am a landscape designer and have been purchasing 1000's of spring flowering bulbs from A.D.R. Bulbs for 100's of clients in the last 20 years. The bulbs have always been of top quality and if there were any problems, they have been quick to rectify. My orders are often complicated with many varieties and different amounts and they have always filled and delivered everything on time with the best customer care and attention to detail. The pictures in their catalog and website are beautiful. I have visited their facility in NY and was impressed with all their handling equipment and organization. I would highly recommend A.D.R. Bulbs to anyone in the wholesale trade who wants to purchase quality bulbs and work with genuinely nice people.

Freesia Single Mix features fragrant, upward-facing blooms in shades of pink, white, yellow, and purple. These bell-shaped flowers grow along one side of their arching stems, creating a graceful display.
Reaching 12 to 16 inches tall, they thrive in full sun to partial shade with well-drained soil and bloom in late spring to early summer. Hardy in USDA zones 9 to 10, they can be grown as annuals in cooler climates by lifting and storing the bulbs before winter. A perfect choice for containers, borders, and cut arrangements, adding both color and scent to any space.

Planting: In USDA zones 3–8, plant corms in spring after the last frost. Soak them in lukewarm water for 30–60 minutes before planting to jumpstart growth. Set corms 2 inches deep and 2 to 4 inches apart, with the pointed end facing up. For best visual impact, plant in clusters rather than rows.
Location: Choose a sunny site—Freesia needs at least 6 hours of direct sun daily. In hot climates, light afternoon shade helps prolong bloom.
Soil: Well-drained, sandy or loamy soil with a neutral to slightly acidic pH (6.0–7.0). Raised beds or containers with drainage holes are ideal if your soil retains too much moisture.
Watering: Water after planting and keep soil lightly moist during active growth. Avoid overwatering—soggy soil can cause rot. Once foliage yellows, reduce watering and allow the plant to go dormant.
Temperature: Hardy in zones 9–10. In cooler zones, treat as annuals or lift corms after foliage dies back and store them in a cool, dry place.
Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10) when shoots emerge and again at bud formation. Avoid high-nitrogen feeds.
Pruning: Deadhead spent blooms to encourage more flowers. Let foliage die back naturally to nourish 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 in humid conditions—good air circulation helps.
