Description
With this fantastic berries & cream mixed Double Freesia bulb collection, you will receive 10, 30 or 50 easy to grow Summer flowering herbaceous cormous perennials that grow up to 30 cm in a mix of pink, red and white, flowering from June to August. Loved by pollinating insects, in particular bees and butterflies. Double freesia have a fuller appearance, compared to that of single freesia, thanks to the extra row of petals on each flower. Please note that quantities and varieties may vary depending on availability.
These bulbs are great for growing in flower beds, garden borders or in patio pots. They can also be used as cut flowers allowing you to enjoy them in your home and garden. Freesia look great, when planted along with Ranunculus, Dianthus, Primroses and Primulas. Freesia will continue to grow each year with little maintenance. In colder areas, dig up the corms before the first frost and store them in a cool, dry place for at least four months. You can also plant them in containers that you can bring indoors for Winter.
If you are not ready to plant bulbs now, then store them in a cool, dry, frost free, well ventilated location. A garage, shed, loft or cupboard are ideal. Open the paper bag to allow air to circulate round but leave the bulbs in their bags until ready to plant. Just make sure mice or other rodents cant get access to them. Keep an eye on your bulbs while in storage, if they are showing signs of going soft, it's best to get them planted before they deteriorate any further.
