Albuca acuminata is found growing in deep sands in the winter rainfall region of Namibia southeast through Namaqualand to the southern Cape east of Mossel Bay. The name Albuca is derived from the Latin words 'albus' meaning "white" or 'albicans' meaning becoming white in reference to the color of the flowers. The specific epithet is Latin meaning "pointed at the tip" in reference to the narrow acuminate leaves. Our plants first released in 2020 are grown from seed collected in the Goleta garden of John Bleck.
