Enjoy sitting on your patio or deck and smelling the sweet peppery perfume of your Single Red Freesia (Freesia corymbosa 'Single Red') on a hot summer evening! The unique bright red flowers appear in spires with the flowers all growing upright off the stems, each taking their turn to bloom from bottom to tip. Giving you a long-lasting bloom!
This plant is a favorite of florists with its incredibly captivating red blooms. They do beautifully in a vase as well as containers and in your garden. As cut flowers, they last an impressive length of time in the vase. Outdoors, Hummingbirds and pollinators flock to the brilliant color and ample nectar resource!
Red Freesia are summer-flowering bulbs, known as corms, grows quickly to a 1-2 foot tall clump over time and can spread up to 2 feet wide. Warm winter areas allow these plants to remain perennial and form clumps of green swords and bright red blooms. Create groupings in your garden beds to maximize the brilliant color of these blooms and the upright effect of the foliage.
Freesias are excellent annuals in USDA growing zones 1-8 and will flower about 10-12 weeks after planting, so you can stagger planting to extend the blooming times during the season! The annual corms can be lifted at the end of the season and stored dormant above freezing until the following spring. In USDA hardiness zones 9 through 10, Freesia are perennial accents that can be used anywhere sunny in pots and planters or garden beds or borders.
Add bold color to planters and porch pots in the sun, or in garden beds and borders for pollinators and for your bouquets indoors! Blooming starts in late spring on green arching blade-shaped foliage that is incredibly dramatic in your landscaping. The red blooms pop intensely making this flower hard to miss. You can make quite a dramatic impact on your landscaping by planting multiple Single Red Freesia in your garden. The color will be incredibly powerful and illuminating!
Single Red Freesia is easy to grow in sandy, loamy, average, moist well-drained soil. They prefer full sun but will be fine in partial shade. When planted properly, they bloom profusely and won't disappoint you! You will want to find a warm spot in your garden for planting Single Red Freesia. They need lots of warmth and humidity so planting them along your foundation will be the perfect spot to keep them happy!
