Freesia

---

These South African beauties scent the air in late spring to early summer with citrus-blossom perfume. Double-flowered hybrids provide an even showier display. The tubular flowers open on small branches called racemes. The stems twist below the flower buds so the blooms face upward to entice pollinators. Plant freesia corms in early spring; they require cool nights to set their blooms. By allowing the narrow, bladelike leaves to dry up naturally at the end of the season, you'll have a plumper corm to store for next year's flowers. Potted freesia plants displayed on a patio or sunny porch will share their fragrance up close for your enjoyment.
