It grows from bulbous tubers, growing long narrow leaves as well as smaller branched stems. The leaves are light green, sword-shaped. At the end of the flower stalk are funnel-shaped flowers.
Onion tubers can be planted in a flower box, in pots as a houseplant or in the garden.
When planting in the garden, give it a sunny place, soil with good water permeability and rich in nutrients. Planting is done in mid-spring. Onions should be picked before winter frosts. In the fall, after the leaves turn yellow and dry, pick them up and overwinter in a dry, cool place.
As a houseplant, it prefers bright, sunny places. Provide enough water and nutrients.
Freesia is often called a symbol of innocence and attention.
