Description
(formerly Leucojum roseum)
This rare species is found only in small areas of Corsica and Sardinia, where it grows in sandy areas, close to the sea. Acis rosea is the only non-white Acis that there is.
Tiny prostrate, blue tinged leaves from equally tiny bulbs and exquisite, miniature sugar-pink, crystalline bells early in July, considerably before the other species.
This likes a very open and sunny spot with very sharp drainage and freedom from too much winter wet which can freeze. If it is both wet and frozen, then there is a good chance that it will die. It is ideal in a pot, especially in view of its miniature size and possible tenderness in extreme weather conditions.
