Native to many countries in Africa, Freesia laxa is smaller than the more widely grown Freesia grandiflora, with a smaller flower, growing above grass-like foliage. It thrives in well-drained soil with low fertility. While it’s best growing in partial shade, it can take more sun in cooler regions.
Grow Freesia laxa in well-drained soil in a sunny or partially shaded spot. Corms need to be kept completely dry when dormant – it’s therefore best to dig them up for overwintering undercover, or grow in a container, which you can easily move indoors in autumn.
