Freesia Double Blooming White Bulbs

Freesia Double Blooming White typically sets its elegant flowers in summer. In mild climates (Zones 9-10), plant freesia bulbs in the fall for best results. In regions with colder winters, bulbs should be planted in early spring after the threat of frost has passed, and then lifted to overwinter. This double freesia variety boasts an ornate appearance, with abundant clusters of up to 8 trumpet-shaped flowers filled with layers of petals, giving them a full and luxurious look. The pure white blooms are upward facing and grow on leafless stems that rise 12 to 24 inches tall, making them a favorite among gardeners and pollinators alike. Their strong, sweet scent attracts bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, adding fragrance and life to your garden. Freesias are also among the world's most popular cut flowers, with their delicate, long-lasting blooms perfect for bouquets and mixed floral arrangements.

Freesia Double Blooming White, a hybrid commonly known as freesia, has an upright habit and looks its best when grouped or planted in sweeping drifts through flower beds and borders. These stunning flowers are a must-have for any cutting garden, and planting bulbs every two weeks in the spring can extend their blooming season. Freesias can also be grown in pretty pots, whether indoors or outdoors, adding a touch of elegance to any space.

To plant Freesia Double Blooming White bulbs, space them 2 inches apart and 2 inches deep. For a more dramatic display, plant about 16 bulbs per square foot. Freesias are easy to grow when placed in a sunny to partially shady spot with medium moist, well-draining soil. Once growth begins, feed the bulbs with Espoma Organic® Bulb-tone® Bulb and Flower Food to encourage healthy flowering. In USDA Zones cooler than 9, the corms will not survive the winter, so they should be dug up for overwintering or grown as annuals.
