Freesia Royal Crown Mix

Unlike other varieties, which take years to bloom, Freesia ‘Royal Crown Mix’ flowers in its first year, delivering a colourful range of fragrant, large flowers in vibrant colours. The cluster-like flower stems have single and semi-double flowers and bring colour for a long period. These traditional cut flowers have an impressive vase life of up to 3 weeks and will add a burst of colour to any room. In milder parts of the UK, they can be grown outdoors in containers on a sunny patio or overwintered in a conservatory or greenhouse for spring flowering.

Sowing
Sow spring to mid summer in a peat based compost, after soaking them for 24 hours in water before sowing. Sow 5-6 seeds per 5in pot. Alternatively chit the seed by mixing with moist peat or sand, keep moist and at a temperature of 18C (65F) for approximately 14 days and then sow as normal.
Move the pots outdoors when the seedlings are established and grow on in a sheltered spot. Bring under glass and give frost protection from autumn onwards, keeping the temperature at around 10C (50F).
