How to recognise it

Wiry, arching stems with several buds along one side
Double, ruffled blooms unlike single-flowered freesias
Sword-shaped, ribbed leaves similar to other freesias
Funnel-shaped buds opening in sequence from base upwards
Strong, characteristic sweet freesia scent

Care

Recut stems at an angle and remove any lower foliage that would sit in water. Use clean water with flower food and keep away from ripening fruit as freesias are sensitive to ethylene. Store at cool room temperature rather than very cold, as chilling can affect bud opening. Change water every two days and recut stems to keep them fresh.
