Notes
'Double Pink' freesia (Freesia 'Double Pink') is a bulb 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. The fragrant flowers rise on stems 12 to 24 inches tall. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. A pot makes it easy to move indoors when cold weather arrives.
Pairs well with Anemone, Lily of the valley, Evergold sedge, and African daisy.
