(aka: Anomatheca laxa) Freesia laxa 'Lavender Lady' is a 2026 Plant Delights/JLBG introduction of a unique new lavender flowered form. This little-known, summer-dormant iris relative, native from South Africa to Kenya, was only discovered and named in 1971. The only colors we've known to be available commercially are scarlet and white with a red dot. Our original seed for this unique color strain are from Texas gardener, JoAnn Trial. In our trials, Freesia laxa is quite adaptable, thriving in sun and light shade, as long as the soils don't stay too moist.
