My first remembrance of tuberoses (Polianthes tuberosa) was when I visited a friend in Houston. They had them growing in pots as well as in the ground by their pool. I couldn't believe the sweet fragrance that filled the summer air. Ever since that wonderful visit, I have tried to recreate this fragrance in my own gardens. The single tuberose is one of the toughest, most reliable bloomers for this group of plants - they are actually members in the same family as Agave. They will grow during the summer and bloom mid-summer. Most of ours started blooming in mid-July and continued to send up stalks of blooms until the first of December.

Planting: Planting a tuber is one of the most enjoyable things. You can't do it wrong! You can plant the tuber with the tip down, or if you aren't sure, you can plant the tuber on its side. It doesn't matter which side. The tuber will "fix" itself. Plant it with no more than 2-3 inches of soil above it.

Landscape and Maintenance: The tuberose will perform best in full sun! Yes, you read that correctly, full sun. In 2022, we had 5 weeks of "heat advisory" temperatures, and they did great. They will do ok if they get a bit of late afternoon shade, but not too much. Cold freezes will hurt them, and they like to be dry during the winter, so plant them accordingly or in pots and bring them in during the winter. You will need to mulch over them if the winter is in the 20s and below. The foliage is about about 1' tall and makes a great boarder. About mid-July, suddenly you have a stalk about 2-3 tall with a row of blooms several inches long.

Pots: These work great in pots to place around the pool or patio. Tuberose multiply quickly so you may want to plant fewer than you think in each pot. Look at the picture below to see how big the foliage gets. I hope you enjoy these in your garden as I have in mine!


Water: The tuberose will perform best if you give it a good drink, about an inch, once or twice a week rather than light little waterings. You don't want to have the plant in standing water. It is also best to water early in the day if you use sprinklers so that the foliage has time to dry before evening. That simply means that you will have beautiful blooms longer during the season. Make no mistake this is a hardy plant that will endure the heat and drought. It will still grow and multiply so if you need to go on vacation you don't have to worry about it.



Scent: I want to be sure to stress how significant it is to plant the tuberose somewhere that you can enjoy the scent. The tuberose has a unique scent and is used in many perfumes. Some describe it as soft and sweet while others call it light and spicy. It will fill the air if you are able to plant a few around your yard, along walkways, next to your patio, or even the mailbox. You can certainly plant it in pots and move it around or even bring it in the house when you want a centerpiece.

 

Cut Blooms: If you want to enjoy the fragrance indoors, the best time to cut the top of the shoot that holds more than a dozen blooms is when at least two of them are already open. The others will open slowly over the next few days. Cutting some of the blooms to enjoy indoors will encourage additional flower growth.

We are now shipping the tuberose as tubers. If planted by late spring, you should see growth from the tubers the same summer, but you may not see blooms until the next July. Sometimes Tuberose tubers require a year of growth in the ground before you see anything.

We have been growing these at the farm. You can see from the picture that each one is muliplying. The foliage dies back quickly when we take them from the ground, but plant them soon and they will get adjusted quickly.

 

Interesting facts: The tuberose have been written about for hundreds of years. The Spaniards encountered them in the early 1500s when they entered the Aztec capital of modern day Mexico City. A couple million pounds of tuberose are used each year in France for the perfume industry. The tuberose are used in India and other locations as special wedding flowers.

A New Love!
Color: Petal Pop, Size: 0.2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I wish I'd known about this before the truckload of nourishing lip glosses I've purchased this year. It's not that they were bad but they didn't deliver the moisturizing I needed. This does it all. It's a slightly tinted doll! The other thing I appreciate is that there's no taste or smell to it. I'm not a big fan of those. It's light and the formula feels good on the lips. Most lip glosses/oils tend to just look pretty without doing anything to the lip in terms of moisturizing or nourishing. This one does! My lips feel soft and subtle and soothed. It lasts a fairly long time too. One other benefit is that it's small enough to tuck into my travel bag so that I can have it on hand for quick touch-ups. The formula is not sticky at all--very smooth. With just a kiss of color, this one is a winner and you can't beat the price.

Highly recommend for dry lips!!
Color: Radiant Raspberry, Size: 0.2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Color: Radiant Raspberry, Size: 0.2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I ordered the radiant raspberry shade and it’s my new favorite everyday lip product. Perfect for everyday use! It’s super hydrating and leaves a beautiful color and shine on your lips. It does transfer onto things just like any glossy product does but when the shine comes off it leaves your lips with a soft cherry tint that looks pretty!

Great budget-friendly oil!
Color: Radiant Raspberry, Size: 0.2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have tried a lot of lip oil products and this one ranks up with a lot of designer brands (trust me, I’m Rouge level at Sephora, lol)! I got the raspberry shade and it’s lovely. Lips feel hydrated and it seems to last for a long time for a lip oil-it doesn’t just sink right in and disappear. No scent or taste, and quite a few high-end products can’t state this. This product could easily be a 5 star if not for 2 issues: the doe foot applicator is humongous! Makes a big goopy mess on the lips without much precision, and I have to blot off the edges. Secondly, I don’t like when a product comes without a seal. A lot of products come in a box and don’t have a seal, but considering the ease to which this product is available (from Target to drugstores, etc) and probably bought more often than higher priced oils, it makes me wonder and I hate feeling like I don’t know if someone else has had this item before me. But other than that, this lip oil is tops and I plan on getting another color soon! Get it, you won’t be disappointed.

Beautiful lip oil
Color: Mocha Mist, Size: 0.2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I just love this lip oil. Not too sticky and gives you great color and coverage. Why spend a ton of money when you can get a great lip oil at a very affordable price. Neutrogena has a winner with this lip oil! Definitely will repurchase in the future.
