Description
The Yellow Single Freesia is a bulbous plant with a stalk that has a convex habit and supports unilateral flowering. The topaz-coloured single flowers are cone-shaped and have a sweet fragrance reminiscent of jasmine.
The Freesia, also known as the Cape Lily, is native to East Africa from Kenya to South Africa. It was named by Danish botanist Ecklon, an expert in South African flora, in honour of one of his brightest students, Dr Freese, a physician, pharmacist, and botanist. This beautiful Iridaceae is already naturalised in some regions of southern France. Its floral stalks give it a spreading and highly branched habit.
The Yellow Single Freesia has deciduous, tender green foliage that is very vertical and sword-shaped with a sharp tip. The leaves and floral stalks reach a height of about 40 cm (16in). The inflorescence develops from May to July, growing on a convex floral stalk. This unilateral flowering consists of 8 to 10 topaz-colored cone-shaped flowers measuring 2 to 3 cm (1in). They are actinomorphic, meaning they have radial symmetry. Each plant will produce 4 to 5 stalks. The Freesia has a sweet fragrance reminiscent of jasmine. Some even describe it as having hints of neroli with spicy and honeyed undertones.
The Freesia is a bulbous plant, but in this case, it is a corm, which serves as a nutrient reserve for the plant. Unlike true bulbs, the corm exhausts all of its reserves during each seasonal cycle and is replaced by a new one each time. The corm is conical and measures about 1 to 2 cm (0 to 1in) at its base. It should be planted apex facing upwards at a depth of 5 cm (2in). This will allow the new shoots to emerge more easily.
The Freesia is a frost-sensitive plant that cannot tolerate temperatures below -3 °C (26.6°F). To grow it in the ground, ensure the last frosts have passed before planting it. Find a sunny location for it, as it thrives in full sun. It prefers fresh, well-drained, sandy to gravelly soils and does not tolerate limestone. It can be paired with orange, yellow, or red Crocosmia in rockeries or borders. The Freesia can be paired with other elegant, fragrant or non-fragrant plants, whether in the ground or in a pot. At the end of the season, once the leaves have turned yellow, remove the corms from the ground and put them into dormancy indoors, replanting them in spring. The plant replenishes its reserves for the following year as long as the leaves are green. The Freesia is currently very trendy in elaborate floral arrangements. Once the first flowers have opened, you can prune the stalk and enjoy fresh flowers for about three weeks.

Planting and care
Plant Freesias in a frost-free location, in well-drained soil. Pot planting: Plant the bulbs 5 to 7 per 15 cm (6in) diameter pots in a mix of sand, potting soil, and turf. Garden planting: Freesias are sensitive to cold and should be planted after the frost. The soil should be well-drained. After the foliage has dried out, the bulbs should be dug up and stored in a dry, cool place protected from frost for planting the following year.

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.
