Default Freesias?

I've got got some freesias I'd love to plant but the info I've found on the
internet ranges from plant now to plant after danger of last frost (obviouly
that would not be now) to indoors...to indoors and force them to you name
it.

Any input from anyone who's successfully grown freesias here. I'd hate to
waste them.

Thanks in advance!
ie


I keep a couple of the square, "window box" style planters, I'd say
36x 9"x10" LWD, and plant them in there. They are hard to grow in
Austin as they like neither freezes nor hot weather. I have had a
hard time finding bulbs the last few years.

Mine saty ourside when it is mild in the winter and in shelter when
there is frost in the forecast. They bloom profusely and smell great.
