Freesia laxa

Most people have found the blue form of Freesia laxa much less
vigorous and harder to grow than the red and white forms. Some of us
never had success even though we could grow the others easily. So
even though I had failed a number of times before, since Gastil
continued to offer these on the BX and I like blue flowers and had a
high BX credit I decided to give them another try. I reasoned perhaps
there would be something in the genetics of her plants that made them
easier to grow. None of the seeds germinated for me. It's strange
that this plant from a summer rainfall area blooms for her in winter
(January).

Anyone else have luck growing Freesia laxa subsp. azurea and if so
how do you treat it, as a summer grower or a winter grower?
