The double red freesia is an aromatic bulb that can reach 0.30 meters in height. It is planted in the autumn and blooms approximately 12-13 weeks after planting.

This bulbous plant blooms with colorful and fragrant flowers on elongated stems that are 20-40 cm tall. It blooms from late winter to early spring, with double yellow flowers forming original one-sided inflorescences that are vertical to the plant's main stem.

It requires well-draining soils and regular irrigation but does not thrive in soils with too much organic matter. If planted in such soils, it produces many leaves and few flowers. The ideal substrate for planting freesia in pots is a mixture of garden soil, leaf mold, and well-rotted manure in equal proportions.

After flowering and when the leaves dry out, the bulbs can be uprooted and stored in a dry, dark place until autumn when they will be replanted. It beautifully adorns flower beds within the lawn and all pots, provided they receive at least 4 hours of direct sunlight per day.

In vases, freesias have an amazing behavior, lasting a long time and exuding their wonderful fragrance. They are sensitive to very low temperatures and unsuitable for areas where the temperature drops below 0°C.
