Notes

'Apollo' freesia (Freesia 'Apollo') is a bulb for cut flowers, specimen use, and winter interest. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. Its large flowers are pure white and fragrant, and they open from early to late summer. J.A.M. Goemans bred it.
