{"product_id":"fresiabollen-double-mix","title":"Freesia bulbs Double mix","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Freesia bulbs Double mix are corms of freesias with full, double flowers in a mixture of colours. Along each arching stem the flowers open one by one, with a sweet fragrance. The plants grow to around 40 to 50 centimetres tall. Freesias are among the best cut flowers: in a vase the sprays often last more than a week.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe corms are size 5\/+ and each produce one or more flowering stems. They look lovely in a pot or planter on a sunny patio, or in a row in the border for cutting. With 40 corms you fill a few roomy pots or a balcony box, with 80 a spot in the border. With 160 or 320 corms you plant a cutting bed or a long strip; allow 50 to 70 per square metre.

Plant the Freesia bulbs Double mix outdoors from mid-April to the end of May, once the night frosts are over. Soak the corms in lukewarm water for a few hours beforehand so they start growing faster. For earlier flowers, start them in pots in March in a light, frost-free spot and move them outside after mid-May.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhen do the Freesia bulbs Double mix flower?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Freesia bulbs Double mix flower from June through August, about three to four months after planting. The buds on each stem open one after another, so a single spray flowers for around two to three weeks. Started early in a pot they flower sooner, after a cool spring later. As they do not survive the winter outdoors, they will not return on their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare and tips Freesia bulbs Double mix\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant the corms pointed end up, about 5 centimetres deep, two to three times their height, and 5 to 8 centimetres apart. They grow best in light, humus-rich soil that drains well. A pot needs holes in the bottom and a layer of gravel or clay pebbles; you will find a suitable size among our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/green-bubble.com\/en-pl\/collections\/outside-pots-in-baskets\"\u003eoutdoor pots and baskets\u003c\/a\u003e. Support the thin stems with small canes or netting, as the double flowers are heavy. Remove spent sprays. From the first buds, give some liquid flower fertiliser every two weeks. If you want to keep them, lift the corms in autumn and store them dry and frost-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWater needs of the Freesia bulbs Double mix\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter planting, water well once and then sparingly until the first leaves appear.
