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.
Growing freesia yourself, from corms, is not as hard as you might think. If I did it, then so can you! Freesia is a small genus native to South Africa in the Iridaceae family. Like some other common garden ornamentals, freesia grow from corms, not bulbs.(Other familiar flowers from corms include crocus, gladiolus and crocosmia.)
