False Freesia, red - Freesia laxa hot_lips_turtlehead Light Requirements: Full SunBlooming 1 inch wide flowers on slender stalks, Freesia laxa will add a splash of color to the spring garden without taking up a lot of space. From the iris family, the grass like leaves never reach over 12 inches in length. The plant's native range is South Africa, so it can handle heat and dry weather, and dislikes soggy winter soil.
