Full SunMexican Tuberose is the classic single-flowering form, producing graceful spikes of creamy white, waxy blooms above slender green foliage. Its exceptionally rich, sweet fragrance becomes especially noticeable during warm evenings, making it a beautiful choice for planting near patios, windows and pathways. The elegant stems are also long-lasting in a vase and can perfume an entire room.
Plant in a warm, sunny position with fertile, free-draining soil. Water regularly during active growth and feed once the foliage appears to encourage strong stems and plenty of flowers.

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!)
