Freesia, a perennial flowering plant grown from bulbs or corms, produces fragrant flowers in shades of red, blue, purple, white and yellow during the spring and early summer.
Freesia flowers are âzygomorphicâ which just means that they grow along one side of the stem, in a single plane.When you look at a flower stalk however, you'll see that the blooms are facing upwards.
