Freesia ‘Single Blue’ is a cultivar of the Freesia genus known for its elegant and fragrant blooms. The flowers of this cultivar are typically a delicate shade of blue to lavender, showcasing the graceful, funnel-shaped blooms that Freesias are famous for.

They often grow in open fields or rocky areas, where they can receive plenty of sunlight.

They thrive in full sun to partial shade and prefer well-draining soil, replicating their native habitat conditions. Freesia ‘Single Blue,’ with its striking color and delightful fragrance, adds a touch of elegance and charm to gardens and floral arrangements alike.
