I am wondering if anyone can help me get freesia bulbs to bloom. I try them every year. I get a few sprigs and maybe a flower or two. What type of dirt, watering, light etc., should I be using? I love these flowers! But have NO luck with growing them myself.
Thanks for any help, jeri16
Freesia is a tricky plant. They are hardy in zones 7-10, they do best in full sun. Up north they need to be planted in the spring The soil needs to be amended with a lot of organic matter mixed in. You need to space them three inches apart and about 2-3 inches deep. The soil must remain evenly moist. They need regular fertilizer applications though out the growing season. You may find them easier to grow in containers.
