Tuberose 'The Pearl'

Order these bulbs in late winter or early spring to get them on time for planting. If your planting zone is colder than zone 7 grow your tuberose in containers. After flowering do not remove the foliage as the bulb feeds on it for the next year’s growth.²

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that The Pearl is thought of as half hardy, so remember to protect this plant from frosts and low temperatures. Try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 5.6 and 7.8 as The Pearl likes to be in weakly acidic soil - weakly alkaline soil.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as The Pearl is a half hardy plant.

Tuberose scent is considered to be narcotic and an aphrodisiac.[¹ Though difficult to find tuberose flower wax is an excellent skin care product.¹ It may be a worthwhile addition to body products as it is a moisturizer/emollient and as a free radicals scavenger.¹
