Full SunStunningly scented single flowering variety - the heavenly sweet scent of Tuberose is found in a vast array of perfumes as a middle note... when you smell these beauties you'll understand why!
The perfect cutflower.
Plant in a location that gets full sun for about 6-8 hours during the day. Tuberose bulbs are best planted in early spring, and need well draining soil. If you wish to increase the nutrients of your soils, add some compost... your bulbs will thank you for it! Ideally, the bulbs would be planted 5cm below the surface of the soil, and 15-20cm apart. Give the soil around the bulbs a good dousing of water to settle the soil. Before the growing tips start to emerge, we recommend adding a scattering of general purpose fertilizer. Growth will be visible within 3 weeks... ENJOY!
Tuberose generally flower late in the summer, so it's a lovely addition when many varieties have finished blooming. Generally speaking, we would expect them to bloom 90-120 days after planting.
- Find a nice sunny spot in your garden with good drainage - the sunnier the better! Dig in in some well rotted manure, and a sprinkling of our Bulb fert.
- Loosen the soil to a depth of around 20cm, and plant your Bulb pointy side up, at around 4-5cm deep (The tuberose bulbs we sell are actually nice clumps of Bulbs, so you'll get a lovely display come late Summer!)
- Once planted, give your Tuberose a generous watering- this will settle the soil, and give them the jump start they require. You should expect to see growth within a few weeks (colder areas will take longer)
- Water fairly regularly during the growing season if the rain has evaded you (a decent watering once a week is much better than lighter drinks )
- Tuberose plants are heavy feeders, so we recommend a side dressing once the leaves have appeared (the blooms will thank you for it!)
