Description

Commonly called Tuberose, the rhizomatous bulb produces a basal clump of thin leaves that lay flat on the ground and an upright straight stem with a spike of fully double, very fragrant tube shaped white flowers that open like a star. The heady and heavily scented blooms are produced in late summer and are as versatile and long lasting in the garden and container as they are when cut for the vase. They are mildly frost tolerant and will grow best outdoors in sub-tropical to warm temperate climates, but will also perform well in a warmed greenhouse in colder climates.
