How to plant grow and care for Freesias this spring

base of the stem but leave the foliage until it has died back completely. This allows the bulb to store more food and produce flowers next year.
winter
Freesia are not completely hardy and do not survive frost. In warmer parts of the UK you can cover deeply and overwinter them in the ground.
If you are in a colder area lift the plants in the fall either when the leaves turn yellow or after the first frost. Cut the stems back to 2½ cm 1 inch and allow the tubers to dry.
Once dry remove the old shriveled part leaving only the new plump tubers. These can easily be stored in a tray with sand. Store them in a cool dry and frostfree place. Plant again when the soil starts to warm in late April. Roll plantings to extend the blooming season.

why arent my freesias blooming?
The brown foliage on your freesias should be kept in place until each leaf has died down. This gives the tubers a chance to store energy and provide a good display of flowers the following year. If that foliage was removed too soon it will affect the flowering. Its also possible that frost damaged the bulbs or that the tubers had sat too long
