Acis Autumnalis (Leucojum Autumnalis) AGM

Description These bulbs bring great joy to the alpine garden later in the season with their delicate appearance betraying how hardy they are. Ideally suited to the rock garden , crevice garden or marginal woodland. These plants work best in a semi shaded area although we have grown exposed for years in the garden and with little difference between both areas.
