Planting Freesia by Zones 

Zones 9–10 

• Plant bulbs in the fall as early as November.  

• You can plant multiple rounds of freesia for a longer cutting season. 

 Zones 3–8 

• Plant in early spring or late winter after the threat of a hard frost is gone.  

Planting Freesia Bulbs 

• Plant into well-draining soil with the pointy side up. These bulbs are great in containers because you can dig them up for planting in later years. In Zones 9 and 10, you can leave them in the ground, but you may lose some to gophers, rot, or other issues. 

 Growing Freesia 

• Freesia can be planted in various soil conditions and enjoys full sun and partial shade. It is a versatile and easy-to-grow flower, perfect for flower arrangements and pollinator gardens. 
   

Growing Freesia in Containers 

• If you are planting Freesia in containers, ensure your container is at least 10” deep. The larger the container, the more blooms you will get from your plants. Keep in mind that containers will dry out faster because they have more surface area and less soil to hold onto moisture. 
   

Harvesting Freesia Flowers 

• Harvest early, in the cool of the morning, for the most attractive and long-lasting blooms.
   

Southern California Pro-tips 

• Freesia can be grown all fall, winter, and early spring. 

• Mulch heavily to ensure the soil stays cool and well-watered. 

• DO NOT overhead water, as this promotes disease.
   

Companion Flowers/ Crops 

• Freesia looks lovely with cool-season flowers like alyssum, borage, and calendula.
