Freesias are one of my favorite flower scents! If I plant them in the fall - they will bloom in February. Plant them in good quality soil and they will reward you with thick stalks of gorgeous flowers & create little bulbs that will turn into future flowers. Wait for the flowers to go to seed - and in the spring - plant those seedlings and you will get more flowers. :)
They come in a variety of colors too - purple, pinks, whites, orange & yellow. When I was a youngster my mother had heirloom freesia bulbs growing in our front yard. When I bought my first house - I took some of her bulbs and planted them in my yard. Unfortunately, those bulbs did not survive the move to my latest house. The old fashion freesia bulbs are amazing but very hard to find. None the less, the bulbs you find in the nurseries are still great and I encourage you to have some of these in your garden. You will not be sorry! :)
