The genus
Sparaxis, a south african iridaceae, is close to Freesia , but more hardy and easier to use as a garden plant. The flowers come in a wide range of colour combinations during April and early May. Multiplies by means of seed and numerous stem bulbils. Can be grown in pots, but is most at ease in wild rockeries and weedy borders. As the flowers open in the sun, choose a well exposed position.
