False Freesia (Anomatheca laxa, syn. Freesia laxa) is a dainty, cormous perennial that produces airy sprays of small, star-shaped, coral-red flowers with a darker center on wiry stems in late spring to summer. Its narrow, iris-like foliage forms loose clumps. Easy to grow in sun or part shade, it self-sows gently and naturalizes in mild climates.
