Description
Freesia Double Pink is an easy to grow Summer flowering herbaceous cormous perennial that produces giant double fuchsia pink blooms with a beautiful fragrance. Double freesia have a fuller appearance, to that of single freesia, thanks to the extra row of petals on each flower. These flowering plants are pollinator friendly and will add interest to your garden during the Summer months of June to August. These upright growing, clump forming plants can reach up to 30 cm in height adding plenty of colour to where planted.
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.
