The Freesia plants are native to South Africa. The Freesia plants will naturalize over time, developing new little corms, which can be separated from the parent plant and set out individually, increasing the number of these sweetly scented blooms. Another way to actually increase your stock of the flowers is by planting Freesia from seed. The first thing to do is to harvest the freesia seed pods. Freesia plants are early season bloomer that prefers to flower before summer heat, when the plant will go mostly dormant. The plant produce seed pods after blooming, which must be left on the plant to ripen in order to have any chance at viability. Let the flowers fade and all petals fall. The pod will actually develop from the ovary and will start out green but, when ripe, will turn tan and dry out. During this time make sure you maintain the plant itself and allow the foliage to persist, gathering solar energy to fuel both the formation of seed but also feed the corms. Once the pods are actually ripe and brown, collecting the freesia seeds are a breeze. The trick is to get the freesia plant seed sown at the proper time and with the necessary treatment to force sprouting.
