Planting Freesia

[mikhurram]

You are welcome to ask any questions or share your experiences. Over the years I lost atleast 500-600 freesias despite planting them in a raised bed having good drainage.

500 to 600 freesias

It may be higher as the figure is based on a conservative estimate.

I see.

Should we pull out all bulbous, tuberous, rhizome and corm plants in the out season, or only the bulbous plants should remove from the soil in dormancy period???

[mikhurram]

Not all of them need to pulled out. It would differ for each bulb, rhizome, corm variety. Some of them would thrive in pots or in a soil bed and some would need to be pulled out. The important thing is one should always experiment and draw conclusions based on those trials and there's no harm in asking others having more experience.

Regarding Rananculus those grown from seeds give better blooms than those grown from corms. Though i have never done the exercise of preserving their corms but presumably you can take the corms out when they are done with their flowering and place them in an onion bag in a well ventilated room from May till September and then plant them again in October.

Thank you all for your suggestions.They are out of flowering stage...flowering was short but fragrance was great.Will pull the bulbs out once leaves are dried.Do their bulbs multiply?
