What is tuberose?

Tuberose ( Polianthes tuberosa ) is a perennial herbaceous bulb. It is part of the Agave family and is native to Mexico. Tuberose is a clumping bulb that produces bright green, strap-like leaves that are upright and grass-like. Smaller leaves form along the stem. In late summer through fall, tall flower spikes appear with clusters of fragrant white star-shaped flowers. The flowers bloom from the base and open upward. In mild climates, it can bloom year-round. Tuberose prefers a sunny location in the garden, sheltered from strong winds.

When to Plant Tuberose

land preparation

Tuberose prefers well-drained, fertile soil. Dig well-decomposed organic matter into the soil before planting. The soil must be free of lime.

How to grow tuberose

Plant in a sunny location, 15-20 cm apart, with the bulb tips just above the soil surface.

Tuberose Plant Care

The soil needs to be moist when planting, but kept fairly dry until green tips appear. Keep it moist during the growing season and continue watering until the leaves begin to turn yellow and die as the bulb goes dormant over the winter.

As soon as growth appears, apply a whole plant food.

Leave the bulbs in the ground and divide them every 2 to 3 years. Dig up the bulbs around May and June, cut off the old leaves and allow to dry. Shake off the soil and trim the roots. The small bulbs can be separated and should bloom next season. Large bulbs that have bloomed will be discarded as they will not bloom again.

Usually no trouble, but watch out for snails, slugs, and thrips.
