Freesias are popular not only because of their colour and charm, but because of their sweet scent. Inspiring everything from perfume and cologne to candles and diffusers, it’s no surprise to us here at Bunches that they’re so in-demand!

Originally from South Africa and named after German physician Friedrich Heinrich Theodor Freese, Freesias are long-lasting perennial plants that make a lovely addition to any arrangement. That’s why, as you may have noticed, we have many Freesia bouquets in our floral gift collection!

The meaning of Freesias may not be as old as that of Roses or Carnations, but like the Alstroemerias it pairs so well with, it is no less significant.

Karen Azoulay, author of Flowers and Their Meanings, states that the Freesia symbolises lasting friendship and innocence. Maybe that’s why we like them so much; at Bunches, we want to help create and maintain long-lasting connections for you. Whether you’re sending them to a family member or a new friend, we have Freesia flowers to help you send a gift from the heart. You can find more of our collections at bunches.co.uk
