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.
Till the compost into the soil with a garden tiller to improve the soil's fertility prior to planting. Dig a hole in the soil just large enough for the freesia bulb. Insert the bulb into the soil with the flat side down and the pointed side up. Cover with soil and apply 1 to 2 inches of water to initiate new growth.
