Freesias are one of the best Spring Bulbs. The flowers come in a multitude of colours and are beautifully fragrant. Freesias grow from a corm, which is like a bulb. Once you plant them, they will grow and flower every year if they are in a position with full sun, but they will also grow in part shade. i have seen them in lawns, but you have to be careful to make sure you don't cut them off with the mower. You can also grow them in pots, and they also make great cut flowers for indoors. Freesia bulbs ( corms ) are available from Garden Centres in Autumn or early Winter.
