When Do Freesia Bulbs Pop Up?

Freesias are native to South Africa and are a garden favorite for their strong, sweet scent. They start as corms, and the time it takes for them to sprout and bloom depends on whether you plant them outside or in pots for indoor growing.

  1. Ease of Growth

    • Freesias bloom in fall, winter and spring in warm climates.

      Freesias are not known for being the easiest bulb to grow. They are fussy about soil composition and weather. While you can grow them nearly year round in USDA zones 9 to 11, they will go dormant in the heat of the summer and will return in the fall.

    Outdoor Plants

    • Dig them up in the fall and replant in the winter in cool climates.

      Freesias grow well in daytime temperatures that are between 60 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit and should pop up within weeks of planting at those temperatures. If you live in a cooler climate, freesia corms can be planted in the spring. They need full sun and well-drained soil. The bulbs will flower approximately 12 weeks after planting.

    Potted Freesias

    • Keep potted freesia in a cool, dark place until growth appears.

      Freesia bulbs can be grown inside in pots in the winter. Plant six to seven corms in a pot that measures about 6 inches across with the tips upright. Use well-drained potting mix and water it well so the water drains from the bottom. Foliage should appear within about 2 weeks.
