Pale lilac blue form, flowers earlier, but slightly weaker than the rest for some reason. Best treated as a greenhouse plant in the UK, less hardy than F. laxa.

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.
