Once the danger of frost is past (mid-May), Tuberose bulbs should be planted in rich sandy soil, full sun and a well-drained location. Cover bulbs with about an inch of soil and space them 6 to 8 inches apart. Mature bulbs will bloom in about 3 to 4 months while smaller bulbs are known to flower in the following growing season. In the fall, dig the bulbs up and store them for the winter after drying in the sun for 7 to 10 days. Ensure the bulbs stay dry while in the sun and then place in a warm/cool area at about 50 degrees.

You may choose to grow your bulbs in pots after June 30th and then take indoors as the colder weather approaches. The plants may bloom indoors if they receive plenty of sun, otherwise, it will be a nice green houseplant throughout the winter. If you choose to order bulbs much later than the above date, I would gladly discuss with you what you can expect via e-mail (Tuberoses@bellsouth.net) on growing these amazing flowers.

Fall Planting Guide: Please order your bulbs from us during September and October and once the weather cools down you should plant as follows: Plant in full sun before the first frost hardens the soil, (October thru November). Space 6 to 8 inches apart and cover with 2 inches of soil, then cover area where planted with 4 inches of mulch for the winter.

The tuberose is a tuberous-rooted herbaceous perennial which was domesticated by the pre-Columbian Indians of Mexico, and like corn, the Tuberoses orgin is lost in antiquity. The tuberose is a plant growing 2 to 3 feet tall with green foilage, and upon a stem that springs up from the center of the plant, will be the pure white blooms in pairs that spiral towards the top. The tuberose is most familiar as a cut flower from the florist-- also popular as a wedding bouquet flower. Tuberoses can be quite easily grown in a pot. Cut flowers are long lasting (water should be changed often). The tuberose has long pale green foliage with pure white flowers. The unopened buds have a pinkish tint. The Tuberose is named for the shape of its rootstock and belongs to the Agave plant family. (Agavaceae)
