Rodger asked, Is Acis valentina hardy? Its been through about 20 F (minus 6 C) inside the bulb frames, but that means it didn't have water on the foliage when it froze. I would be cautious about putting it outdoors, but may try one bulb when I move to a slightly warmer spot. Of the spring-flowering Acis species, I think A. tingitana and A. nicaeensis could be grown outdoors in the Pacific Northwest, but A. trichophylla seems less resilient after a hard freeze.
