Freesia Double Red from Kapiteyn (often branded under their "Respect Nature" or specialized summer bulb ranges) consists of premium, double-flowered corms that produce vibrant, crimson-red blooms with a strong, sweet fragrance. These varieties are characterized by their multi-layered petals and tall, sturdy stems, making them excellent for both garden borders and as cut flowers.
Key Characteristics and Care:

• Appearance:Double, multi-layered petals in a deep red, sometimes with a yellow, contrasting heart.
• Height:Typically grows 30cm to 60cm tall.
• Flowering Time:Late summer (July to September).
• Planting Depth & Spacing:Plant 58 cm deep and roughly 510 cm apart.
• Position:Thrives in full sun or light shade in well-drained, sandy soil.
• Fragrance:Known for a very strong, sweet, and pleasant perfume.
• Hardiness:Not frost-hardy (tender perennials). In cooler climates, bulbs should be lifted after the first autumn frost and stored in a dry, cool place (815C).

Planting and Usage:
Kapiteyns Freesia Double Red is highly suitable for containers, pots, and borders. For the best results, plant them in April (after the risk of frost) in fertile, well-drained soil. They are considered easy to grow and are ideal for creating a "scented garden" effect, often lasting for weeks in a vase.
