The species, which has been native to the island for a long time, has become increasingly rare since the fall of the horticultural industry and is now the focus of attempts to provide habitats for local wildlife.
Jamie Hooper, a conservation officer at La Societe Guernesiaise, said it was a 'rather unique species'.
Mr Hooper urged anyone who encounters the rare species when digging in their garden to contact the Guernsey Biological Records Office with a report.
