A garden hybrid, named by David Fenwick, it is also seen elsewhere sold as Freesia laxa. It is a pinky red form of laxa, a dwarfer, stockier, more compact plant with starry, bi-symmetrical flowers. It is also hardier than the type.

Photographs of this Freesia taken at the former African Garden in Estover, Plymouth, Devon; once home to the NCCPG National Collection of Freesia Anomatheca Group.
