Outdoor Freesias 
Freesias are well known for their fascinating pastel colours, fragrance and un- 
surpassed beauty for indoor decoration. While it was formerly possible to grow 
them in a greenhouse only, through certain preparations they can now be planted 
in the garden with great success. 
Plant towards the end of April about 2 inches deep and 2 inches apart in a well 
drained, good loamy soil and give them a sunny position. The outdoor Freesias 
flower from the end of July to late autumn and have long lasting qualities.
