Freesia is a perennial bulbous herb belonging to the Iridaceae family. It is highly valued for its fragrant, brightly colored flowers, arranged in clusters on slender and elegant stems. It prefers a mild climate, with temperatures between 15°C and 25°C, and does not tolerate frost. Its growth habit is upright, with delicate stems that support the inflorescences. It is mainly grown for ornamental purposes, both in gardens and pots, thanks to the beauty and fragrance of its flowers. The flowering period occurs in spring, particularly from March to May, but if grown in a greenhouse, it can also bloom in autumn or winter.
