Freesia andersoniae
Freesia andersoniae is a small tuberous perennial geophyte from the Iris family, native to dry South African regions. It is a wild species rather than a common garden freesia, so growing it depends on mimicking its dry, seasonal habitat.
Freesia andersoniae is a perennial, geophyte that is endemic to the North West, Eastern Cape, Western Cape and the Free State.
