Freesia bulbs (technically known as corms) are small, slender, teardrop-shaped structures with a fibrous outer skin. They produce highly fragrant, trumpet-shaped flowers in a wide rainbow of colors. Quick Planting Guide Timing: Plant in the spring for summer blooms, or in the fall for winter flowers if growing indoors. Depth & Spacing: Plant corms 2 inches deep and 2–3 inches apart. Orientation: Always place the pointy end facing up. Conditions: They thrive in full sun and well-drained soil. Pots: Freesias are excellent for containers; use an 8-inch deep pot to accommodate their root systems. Popular Varieties Single Flowered: Traditional trumpet shapes with intense fragrance. Double Flowered: Multiple layers of petals for a fuller, luxurious appearance. Mixed Collections: Often sold as "Rainbow" or "Bountiful" mixes containing purple, pink, yellow, and white blooms.
