Product Description
One of the most attractive and sweetly fragrant summer flowering bulbs, this specially selected mixture will be supplied as heat-treated corms, which guarantees they will flower from the first season onwards. Supplied in a stunning array of bright colours, these will be perfect for growing in pots on your patio or planting in beds or borders. They will over-winter in mild winters, and produce bigger and better displays in future years. These beauties no longer need to be simply a treat, so grow your own, and you can enjoy bountiful crops to pick again and again, and at a fraction of even supermarket prices and at just pennies per bulb. They thrive in pots in warm spots, or in well-drained soil, they will flower in summer. Cut the flowers when tight in bud for maximum enjoyment and fragrance indoors, or leave them to provide a splash of colour outside.
What Is Supplied
Item 630078 supplied as:
Supplied as a pack of 100 corms, size 4/5, in a mix of at least 6 colours and shades.
Heat-treated to guarantee flowering this year.
Plant Information
Top Tips

Care Guide
In the garden
Freesias can be planted outside from April - May. Plant the corms straight into the ground, pointy end upwards, in a well-drained spot in sun or light shade.
When the plants are up and growing, they will benefit from a potash-rich feed.
For containers
Plant six bulbs, at 1-2 in deep. Use a good quality compost with a little extra grit for drainage.
Water regularly and keep them moist (but not soaking) and shaded at all times – a cold greenhouse or conservatory is ideal.
Once the corms start to sprout, move the pots into full sunlight and keep watering. When the buds show colour, you can bring them indoors.
After flowering cut off faded blooms and continue to water and feed until the foliage begins to brown, then cease watering.
A period of at least eight weeks of growth is required to encourage offsets. If growing on for a second year the foliage needs to dry off by early July

Ordered 3 lilac and 2 packs of 100 freesia bulbs. 2 lilac arrived and the packs of bulbs didn't have 100 in. Each pack had approx 70-75 in so 50 bulbs short. Had to email them 10 times to get them to send the missing lilac. No mention of replacing the missing bulbs. It took until the 18th for them to plan a replacement lilac
Product:
Short delivered again. Each pack should have had 100 but were about 50 short. The first person that replied to my 10 emails said replacements would be sent. The person that replied yesterday only ordered a replacement lilac. No mention of freesias

I am so sorry I cannot give you any feedback on the items because I have not received any of the items. According to the garden bargains delivery details it states that the parcel has been left in my porch and!I do not have a porch so I do not know where the parcel is.

First class. Top marks for condition and packing. My Devon Pinks are all tucked up in their new flowerpots and I look forward to their perfume when they are ready. First time buyer on this site, certainly will be back again.
Product:
Fantastic value. A favourite of mine and to get so many for so little, I would say I?m a strong winner. Can you imagine the delicious smell.
