The Thompson and Morgan Double Freesia Mix is an ideal choice for gardeners looking to add vibrant color and intense fragrance to their outdoor spaces. Perfectly suited for both garden borders and patio containers, these multi-petalled blooms provide a professional-looking summer display with the added benefit of being excellent for cut flower arrangements. While these bulbs are highly rewarding, potential growers should note that they are half-hardy, meaning they require well-drained soil and must be protected from hard frost to thrive.

These are spring-planting bulbs, so they should be set into the ground once the danger of hard frost has passed.
Yes, they are excellent for containers provided the pots have drainage holes and you use a well-draining soil mix.
Generally, plant them at a depth of about 5cm, spacing them approximately 8-10cm apart to allow for proper air circulation.
A balanced, slow-release fertilizer mixed into the soil at planting time can help support vigorous growth and blooming.
They are half-hardy; in colder climates, they are often treated as annuals or lifted and stored in a frost-free place during winter.
Cut the stems early in the morning with a clean, sharp knife or garden shears, and place them immediately into a clean vase of water.
Check soil drainage; waterlogged soil often causes bulb rot before germination.
Ensure the site receives full sun. Insufficient light causes the plants to stretch and become leggy.
Inspect for pests and ensure the plants are shielded from harsh, cold winds which can damage delicate petals.
To ensure your Double Freesia Mix thrives, start by preparing the soil; it must be well-drained, as these bulbs will rot in waterlogged conditions. If planting in containers, use a high-quality potting mix with added grit to improve drainage. Plant the bulbs in the spring once the risk of frost has passed. During the growing season, keep the soil consistently moist but never soggy. Because they are half-hardy, if you live in an area prone to late spring frosts, cover the young shoots with horticultural fleece or move containers to a protected area until the weather warms completely.
