It is one of the most beloved flowers for its pure colors, long vase life, and sweet perfume. They are a universal symbol of friendship, but can also be given as a gift for the seventh wedding anniversary.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe trumpet-shaped flowers are ‘zygomorphic', meaning the blooms grow in a single plane, along one side of the plant’s stem. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey may be grown in borders, planters, and terraces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eGrowing and caring for freesias\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn USDA Zones 3-8, freesia corms can be planted outdoors in spring for late summer flowers. The bulbs may also be planted in pots in the fall and grown in a cool (55-60°F) greenhouse for winter flowers. Plant freesias in March or April in a greenhouse, and April or May directly outside as long as the risk of frost has almost passed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCorms can also be planted in September to November. If planted in autumn, leave the pots outside while temperatures are still between 10-17°C (50-62ºF) and then move indoors, such as to a greenhouse or near a kitchen window. In USDA Zones 9-10, plant outdoors in fall for blooms in February-March. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor my detailed planting and care instructions, visit: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/terracegardenfrance.business\/blogs\/caring-for-your-plants\/how-to-grow-freesias\" title=\"https:\/\/terracegardenfrance.business\/blogs\/caring-for-your-plants\/how-to-grow-freesias\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehttps:\/\/terracegardenfrance.business\/blogs\/caring-for-your-plants\/how-to-grow-freesias\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Terrace Garden France","offers":[{"title":"5 bulbs\/corms","offer_id":42427820441761,"sku":"","price":6.45,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"10 bulbs\/corms","offer_id":42427820474529,"sku":"","price":12.51,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"20 bulbs\/corms","offer_id":42427820507297,"sku":"","price":24.64,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"50 bulbs\/corms","offer_id":42427820540065,"sku":"","price":61.03,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/5658\/9217\/files\/SOLEIL_1.jpg?v=1729023376","url":"https:\/\/terracegardenfrance.business\/en-be\/products\/freesia-soleil-bulbs-corms","provider":"Terrace Garden France","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
