Freesia Hybrida (Freesia Hybrida Royal Champion Mix) - A mix of lovely flowers in colors of blue, pink, white, and yellow can be grown from Freesia seeds. These blooming beauties capture your heart and are a springtime favorite. Freesia flowers are very fragrant, easy to grow and look great in pots and in garden beds where you want masses of color. This Royal mix has large, delicate flowers often used alone in floral arrangements, or as contrasting blooms in a bouquet of other flowers, such as roses.
For color, fragrance and elegant form, this Freesia mix is unbeatable. Excellent for pots or for sprinkling throughout an established bed. Grow Freesia flowers for cutting. They have strong stems and a long vase life for lots of enjoyment indoors as well as outdoors.
It is recommended to soak the Freesia seeds in warm water for 24 hours prior to sowing. Start the flower seed indoors 8 weeks before the expected end of spring. Pre-moisten starter mix and fill pots with the soil. Place 2 - 3 flower seeds in each pot and press the seed into the soil, lightly covering. Continue to water throughout the germination process and place the pots in a well-ventilated area with a good light source. Freesia seedlings can be fertilized every 2 weeks with a balanced liquid fertilizer. As temperatures warm up outdoors, take the plants out to harden off for 10 days or more. Transplant Freesia plants into containers or into beds that have nutrient rich, well-draining soil.
