Freesia double - Red - Thrives in Full Sun - Bulbs - 10 pcs

The delicate yet intense red of the double freesia brings to mind a summer morning filled with light, fragrance and a gentle breeze. Its subtly scented blooms rise on slender stems, lending a refined touch to garden displays. This is a plant that beautifully combines ornamental appeal with a natural look.

Planting time

Freesia bulbs should be planted from mid-April to early May, once the risk of late spring frost has passed. For container cultivation, you can start earlier—February or March—provided the pots are kept in a warm, bright spot protected from the cold.

Planting depth

Plant the bulbs at a depth of 6–8 cm in open ground. In containers, a depth of 5–6 cm is sufficient. This ensures proper root development and good stability for the plants.

Planting spacing

A spacing of around 10 cm between bulbs is recommended. In a 30 cm diameter pot, you can plant between 5 and 10 bulbs, depending on how dense you wish your display to be.

Height

Freesias reach a height of 30–50 cm. Their upright stems look attractive both in borders and in container arrangements, bringing a sense of lightness and rhythm to the garden.

Flowering period

Flowering occurs from late June through to August. The red blooms are long-lasting, remain on the plant for an extended period, and are excellent for cutting—making them ideal for vases.

Winter hardiness

Freesias are not frost hardy. Once flowering has finished, the bulbs should be lifted, cleaned, and stored in a dry, airy place at a temperature of 8–15°C until the following spring.

Uses

The double red freesia is suitable for planting in gardens, balcony containers, and as a cut flower. Its vivid colour enlivens arrangements with perennials and other freesia varieties. Thanks to its compact form, it can be easily incorporated into a wide range of floral designs. If you are looking for premium bulbs for garden displays or want to expand your bulb collections, this variety is a versatile choice.
