Propagation

Propagate by separating corm offsets, or by seed. Young plants take a few seasons to reach flowering size. See freesia cultivation

Growing

Freesias naturally flower in early spring, but need frost-free conditions. Plant corms in autumn, outdoors in very mild areas, or in containers in a frost-free greenhouse. Specially prepared corms can be planted outdoors in mid-spring to flower in late summer, but will only do this for the first year. See freesia cultivation
