'Princess of Wales' freesia (Freesia 'Princess of Wales') is a bulb for cut flowers and specimen plantings. 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. The fragrant flowers open in early to late summer. They are mimosa yellow inside, edged aureolin, with a lemon yellow throat. J.A.M. Goemans bred it.
