How to Plant a Freesia Corm in the Garden

Knowing how and when to plant freesia bulbs is important for their success in the garden. Start by choosing a location with full sun or light morning shade and well-drained soil.

Prepare the bed by digging and loosening the soil to a depth of at least 8 inches. Plant the freesia bulbs, or corms, at least 2 inches deep and 2 to 4 inches apart.

Plant Freesias in groups for a striking display of single-colored blooms. Extend the bloom season by planting corms weekly.

When to Plant Freesia Bulbs

For best results, plant freesia corms in fall in USDA hardiness zones 9 and above, or in spring in cooler areas. In zones below 9, the corms must be dug up and stored until the following season, but considering their low cost, it's often simpler to buy a new freesia plant each year.

Another option is to plant them in containers so you can bring the entire pot indoors for winter storage.

How to Grow Freesias Indoors

Freesias bloom readily indoors. Plant the bulbs about 2 inches apart in a pot filled with regular potting soil. Keep the soil moist, but not soggy, and place the pot in a sunny, preferably south-facing window. Expect flowers in 10 to 12 weeks.

Once the flowers and foliage die back, allow the pot to dry out and place it in a cool location until you are ready to bring them into bloom again.

Freesia Flower Care

Once the foliage emerges, water the growing freesia plants often to keep the soil moist. Freesias need an abundance of moisture during the entire growing season, but you should allow the soil to dry out once the flowers fade.

Fertilize the plants in spring with a bulb fertilizer following the label instructions.
