Double freesia bulbs produce fragrant flowers with multiple rows of petals and come in five colors: blue, orange, pink, red, and white. They bloom in spring and can be planted in the garden or in a pot on the balcony. The flowers can also be used as cut flowers in a vase.
Plant in autumn, pointed end up, in light, fertile, well-drained soil. They need plenty of direct or lightly filtered sunlight. Water well after planting, then moderately to keep the soil moist; increase watering slightly when the first buds appear. The flowers may need small supports, as the stems are slender.
