I want to plant some freesia bulbs in containers. I don't know whether or not to just plant them in the containers alone or in combination with other flowers.
Would welcome any suggestions or what I could do and what I should avoid doing.

Avoid leaving them in the packet, that way you get nothing. never had much luck with freesias personally but I would stick 'em in anywhere they won't be swamped by neighbouring plants. |

Mine are still in the packet so I had to laugh SP. I have used them once before and did not get results either. I might put them in a pot in the greenhouse this time and bring it out if there are any flowers.

I planted several pots of freesias last year.I put them in fairly close together.They didn't seem to mind being crowded..and they were great.

I planted up two pots of poundland sparaxis (or ixia) about 8 weeks ago .they are growing like my previous attempts at freesias..and they are just showing flower stalks now.I'll post a picture or two later.

 DSCF0890 by smifter2012, on Flickr  DSCF0887 by smifter2012, on Flickr these are either ixia or sparaxis from poundland..about 15 to 20 corms to a pot..the usual treatment I give to the freesias.They haven't been out of the greenhouse yet.Maybe they never will.One or two of the stems are starting to make flower stalks. |

According to me freesia is a good looking flower plant, you can't grow them in packets. Indeed those plants are requires some pots, i have planted them in pot only, I got great result through it.
