Notes
'Double Blue' freesia (Freesia 'Double Blue') is a perennial for borders, containers, and low maintenance gardens. 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 sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. The fragrant flowers grow on plants that reach 12 to 24 inches tall.
Pairs well with Anemone, Lily of the valley, and Evergold sedge.
