QuestionCan I move the plant while it's blooming?Community AnswerIf you move a plant while it is blooming then it will stop blooming, so it is best to not move the plant until after it is finished.

QuestionDo freesias have seeds? Mine have bulbs where the flowers were.Community AnswerYes, freesias can set seeds. However, doing so takes up a lot energy from the plant and the colors of the new freesia that you grow from seed are usually not identical to those of the original plant.

QuestionI have a clump of freesias with red flowers that are 48' to 52" tall, and they are not fragrant. How do I identify the variety?Community AnswerI've never seen a Freesia 4 feet or more tall! Are you sure it isn't a Crocosmia? Many of those are red and have similar leaves and racemes as do Freesia.

QuestionWhy do the freesias I buy flower once, then never again?Community AnswerWhen you buy freesias, the corms already have all the energy needed to produce the flowers. After you have planted them and they have bloomed, the corms have been depleted and they need energy to restore. They get re-energized from the leaves and any fertilizer you provide.

QuestionI have grown freesias in pots and planters. When they died, I plucked off the dried leaves and left the plants in there, hoping they will regrow. Have I done the right thing?Community AnswerYes. Once the leaves are brown and have died, you can take them off the plant. The freesia no longer has any use for those leaves.
