Overview
Freesia Double Mixed: The Fragrant Bouquet Collection
Infuse your garden and home with the intoxicating scent of our Freesia Double Mixed collection. These specially selected corms produce sturdy stems topped with lush, double-petalled blooms that look like miniature roses. Unlike single varieties, the double forms offer a fuller, more ruffled appearance in a vibrant kaleidoscope of reds, yellows, whites, purples, and pinks. Famous for their sweet, peppery perfume, these are the ultimate choice for patio pots placed near doorways or seating areas where their aroma can be enjoyed on warm evenings. They are also world-renowned cut flowers; just a few stems are enough to perfume an entire room for over a week.
Key Features
-
Scented Symphony: Freesias are legendary for their fragrance—a sweet, citrus-y floral scent with peppery undertones that intensifies in the warmth of the sun.
Double the Beauty: This mix features exclusively double-flowering varieties, meaning each bloom is packed with extra petals for a ruffled, velvety texture that adds depth and luxury to the display. -
Vase Royalty: Bred for the florist trade, these stems are strong and straight, making them exceptional for indoor arrangements where they can last up to 10 days in water.
-
Pot Perfection: Their upright habit and love of warmth make them ideal candidates for terracotta pots and containers on a sunny patio, allowing you to move them into the spotlight when they bloom.
Gardener's Tip
Freesia stems are elegant but can sometimes lean under the weight of their magnificent double heads. To keep them standing tall without ugly stakes, push some branched hazel twigs or birch stems into the pot or ground at the time of planting. As the freesias grow, they will weave naturally through the twigs, which will provide invisible support by the time the flowers open, keeping your display upright and tidy.
