Freesia Double White is a highly fragrant, tender perennial bulb, often supplied by specialist growers such as Kapiteyn. It is prized for its lush, double white flowers carried on elegant, arching stems. Ideal for summer displays, Freesias perform beautifully in borders, containers, and as cut flowers, filling the garden with a sweet, uplifting scent.
