Freesia 'Gold River'

Freesias naturally flower in early spring, but need frost-free conditions. Plant corms in autumn, outdoors in very mild areas, or in containers in a frost-free greenhouse. Specially prepared corms can be planted outdoors in mid-spring to flower in late summer, but will only do this for the first year. See freesia cultivation

No pruning required

Propagate by separating corm offsets, or by seed. Young plants take a few seasons to reach flowering size. See freesia cultivation

May be susceptible to glasshouse red spider mite and aphids

May be susceptible to dry rot and Fusarium wilt
