I am growing freesias in containers, I got them in bloom last year, bloomed continued after repot and it slept soundly in summer. Started to grow back the leaves in late fall, and it enjoyed this year's El Nino rains when it came. This is the first year of rebloom, so for now showing several buds, thankful they are starting to return. The leaves are floppy though, maybe due to the limited angle of light it gets. It certainly is enjoying the cool overnights we are still getting in the mid to low 40's and nice comfy warm daytime 70F to 80F. I did have to spray for some aphids that attacked the bloom stalks. I am still in a learning curve with this plant. Smiling
