Notes
'Single Red' freesia (Freesia 'Single Red') 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 flowers are fragrant. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. Plants reach 12 to 24 inches tall.
Pairs well with Anemone, Lily of the valley, and Evergold sedge.
