American Meadows Double Freesia
Best fragrant bulb for gardeners wanting elegant, cuttable spring blooms.
These fragrant, ruffled blooms bring a sophisticated, old-fashioned elegance to any garden bed or vase. While they demand a bit of extra effort for northern gardeners who must dig and store the corms each winter, the reward of their intoxicating scent and arching, creamy stems is well worth the seasonal ritual.
