Family- Freesia is a member of the Iridaceae family.

‘Super’ could be the adjective used to describe Freesia
‘White Giant’. Its pure white flowers and large size catch the eye. The
flowers are much larger than those of other single-flowered freesia.
The sturdy stems also add to the ‘Rolls Royce’ image – something the
trade has already
recognized.
Freesia ‘White Giant’ was launched at FloraHolland in 2005. In that season the first 31,000 stems were sold. In the following year the number rose to 109,000. This year the supply is expected to double and this is good news for florists who look forward to using this sweet-scented flower in high-class bridal arrangements. The vase life is good, at 10 to 11 days. The long-stemmed (50-60 cm long) Freesia ‘White Giant’ is available from February to the end of June.
