FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

Are Freesia bulbs fragrant?

Yes. Freesias are grown for their sweet, distinctive fragrance as well as their funnel-shaped flowers. Grow them in a sheltered spot or in pots near a doorway, patio or open window where the scent can be enjoyed.

Can I grow Freesia outdoors in the UK?

Freesias can be grown outdoors during summer in a sunny, sheltered position with well-drained soil. However, they are tender and do not tolerate frost, so in most UK gardens they are best grown in pots and moved somewhere frost-free for winter.

How do I plant Freesia corms?

Plant Freesia corms around 5cm deep in free-draining soil or compost, with the pointed end facing upwards. Place them in full sun and provide light support as the stems grow, as the flower spikes can lean over.

Why has my Freesia grown leaves but no flowers?

Lots of leaves with few or no flowers is usually caused by insufficient light, cold conditions or corms that have not had the right growing conditions to produce buds. Keep Freesias in full light, water moderately during growth and feed monthly until flower buds appear.

What should I do with Freesia corms after flowering?

Remove fading flowers but keep the leaves growing until they turn yellow, as this helps the corms store energy. Then reduce watering and allow the compost to dry out. Store the dormant corms somewhere dry and frost-free until it is time to start them again.
