Freesias have long been a mainstay in florist shops because of their intoxicating scent, long vase life, and enticing array of jewel-toned colours. But why not grow them in your own home and enjoy their sweet perfume and delicate floral beauty for months on end? These welcome winter bloomers are easy to force indoors as inexpensive, longer-lasting alternatives to cut flowers. In addition to being gorgeous houseplants, freesias will also thrive outdoors in garden beds or containers with properly timed planting.
