F laxa in an orange form can self seed as an annual in Derbyshire, the
blue self seeds under cold glass for me but I believe all my corms succumed
to last winter, The same goes for F viridis, I am waiting for seedlings
from the sand. F alba is in flower just now.

as yet unflowered one is the same. It is a very pale lilac with deep
purple markings. Is this ssp. less hardy than the red?
Hi Brian,
Lots of experience with Freesia laxa here. It's not as hardy as laxa, and
barely survives in a cold greenhouse in the UK...
Best Wishes,
