FREESIA SCENTED MIX
SKU: 1234-5
Description
A popular and loved plant with long lasting blooms with a beautiful scent! Wonderful grown by a front entrance, patio, or in a greenhouse where the stunning fragrance can be enjoyed!
These plants are often grown as an indoor perennial or potted plant. The plants form a bulb, so if they are grown in the garden the bulbs can be lifted and stored over the winter, as they are not frost hardy. It is a perennial outdoors in zones 9-10.
Location: Full sun or part sun
Height: 45 cm, 18"
Seeds per pack: 5
Germination: As with many perennials, these seeds can benefit from a period of moist cold to help them break dormancy. This is done by giving them a cold 'winter' period (artificial or natural), and then a warming to simulate 'spring', and time to grow! Here's how this can be done:
Obtain a planting container that has holes in the bottom for excess water to drain. Place the seeds just under the surface of your growing medium, and water. Place your container in a cold area (but not freezing, perhaps a refrigerator) for 4-6 weeks. Once the cold period is completed, place the container at room temperature for them to germinate. Be sure to keep the soil moist during this entire germination period. Seedlings will sprout a few weeks after the warming period.
If you are planting your seeds in late winter or spring, these seeds can be planted outdoors while it is still cool out (once the ground is workable and unfrozen), to receive the cold period naturally in the garden. It is best to use this method only if you are able to keep the soil moist for the entire germination period. Be sure to label the planting area.
