Planting Instructions
Planting Season
- Start Freesia seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last expected frost, or sow directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.
Planting Details
- Seed Depth: Lightly cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil, as Freesia seeds require light for proper germination.
- Spacing: Space plants 6–8 inches apart to allow for adequate air circulation and growth.
- Soil Requirements: Prefers well-draining, fertile soil that is slightly acidic to neutral (pH 6.0–7.0). Adding organic matter can help improve soil quality.
- Sunlight: Freesias thrive best in full sun but can tolerate partial shade in hot climates.
Care Instructions
Watering
- Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid over-watering. Water when the surface of the soil feels dry to the touch, and ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
Fertilization
- Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during the growing season to support healthy growth and encourage abundant blooms.
Mulching
- Mulch around the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Mulching also helps maintain a stable soil temperature.
Pruning and Deadheading
- Remove spent flowers regularly to encourage new blooms. Cut the stems back after flowering to promote healthy growth for the following season.
Harvesting
- Flowers: For cut flowers, harvest when the first few blooms are open on the spike, ensuring that more flowers will bloom after being cut.
- Seeds: Allow the seed pods to ripen and dry out before collecting seeds for future planting.
Storage
- Seeds: Store Freesia seeds in a cool, dry place in an airtight container. Freesia seeds can remain viable for up to 1–2 years if stored properly.
