The bulbs didn't sprout, I checked in the soil, the bulbs are still there but they didn't come up, so no flowers. Too bad.

Description
Freesia Double White is a cormous plant with a spreading habit and unilateral flowering. The ivory double flowers are shaped like cones and have a sweet scent reminiscent of jasmine.
Freesias, also known as cape lilies, are native to East Africa, from Kenya to South Africa. They were named by Danish botanist Ecklon in honour of one of his brightest students, Dr. Freese, who was a physician, pharmacist, and botanist. These beautiful plants belong to the Iridaceae family. Their floral stems give them a spreading and highly branched habit.
Freesia Double White has deciduous, tender green foliage that is upright and sword-shaped with a sharp tip. Both the leaves and floral stems reach a height of about 40cm (16in). The inflorescence develops from May to July. It grows on a floral stem with a convex habit. This unilateral flowering consists of 8 to 10 ivory-coloured cone-shaped flowers measuring 2 to 3cm (1in). They are actinomorphic, meaning they are radially symmetrical. Each plant will produce 4 to 5 floral stems. The flowers have a sweet scent reminiscent of jasmine. Some may even describe it as having fragrant tones of neroli with spicy and honeyed undertones. A luxurious and exotic experience is guaranteed with this beautiful freesia with double flowers. It is a cormous plant. Unlike true bulbs, the corm exhausts all its reserves during each seasonal cycle and is replaced each time by a new one. Its corm is conical and measures about 1 to 2cm (1in) at its base. It should be planted with the apex facing upwards at a depth of 5cm (2in). New shoots will emerge more easily.
Freesias are frost-sensitive and cannot tolerate temperatures below -5°C (23°F). If you want to grow them in open ground, make sure that the last frosts have passed before planting. Plant them in a sunny location. They prefer moist, well-drained, sandy to rocky soils. They do not appreciate limestone. They can be paired with orange, yellow, or red crocosmias in rock gardens or border plantings. Whether in the ground or in a pot, they can be combined with other elegant plants.
Freesias are perfect in elaborate floral arrangements. Once the first flowers have bloomed, you can prune the floral stem and keep the flowers fresh for about three weeks.

Planting and care
Plant in a frost-free area, in well-drained soil.
Pot planting: plant 5 to 7 bulbs per 15cm (6in) diameter pot. Use a mixture of sand, compost, and turf.
Garden planting: freesias are sensitive to cold and should be planted after the risk of frost has passed. The soil should be well-drained.
While the leaves are green, the plant replenishes its reserves for the following year. At the end of the season, let the foliage turn yellow and dry. Then dig up the corms and store them in a dry and cool place, protected from frost. Replant them in spring.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
