Thysanotus acerosifolius is a small tufted perennial geophyte from south-west Western Australia, grown mainly by enthusiasts of native bulbs. Grow it in free-draining sandy soil with a dry summer rest, as it comes from sandplain habitat.
Thysanotus acerosifolius is a species of flowering plant in the Asparagaceae family, and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a tufted, perennial herb with yellowish tubers, glabrous, thread-like leaves and panicles of purple flowers, the outer tepals linear with membranous edges, the inner tepals egg-shaped and fringed, and six stamens, the ovary with two ovules per locule.
This species grows between Lake Grace and Lake Pallarup on sandplains in sand, laterite, and clay-loam in the Avon Wheatbelt and Yalgoo bioregions of south-western Western Australia.
