Tuberose Flowers and its use

The beautiful, white, ten to fifteen-inch tubular shaped flowers grow between sword-shaped leaves. There are both single and double flowering varieties to choose from. But singly is very delightful and

scented. 

Tuberose is a member of the Agavaceae (Agave) family of plants. Its scientific name is Pollinates tuberose. It is a Mexican native and is mostly grown in the southern hemisphere but can do nicely in the north if planted in a protected sunny location. They are slow growers and you will need to have patience while waiting for them to pop out of the ground. That being said, these tropical beauties are well worth your time.

Tuberose bulbs in need sunny area for a full day of sun. Growing tuberose prefer to be kept on the dry side and need rich well-drained, somewhat sandy, soil. They won’t do well if their feet are stuck in the mud all day. Before planting, watch your chosen location. 

Tuberose bulbs need to be planted at a depth where they will have two inches of soil above their heads and spaced approximately eight to ten inches apart.

Site and soil:

The most important requirement for growing tuberose successfully is a location with plenty of light. Petunias need at least five or six hours of good sunlight; they'll perform even better when located in full sun all day. The more shade they receive, the fewer flowers they'll produce. Impatiens are a better choice for blooming in shady places.While soil needn't be terribly rich to grow good petunias, it must drain decently. It's always useful to improve the garden soil by conditioning it with organic matter, such as baled peat moss, well-rotted leaf compost or manure.Spread the organic matter two to three inches thick. Then incorporate it into the soil to a depth of eight to ten inches, using a rototiller or garden fork. This helps open up heavy clay soil, which improves drainage but can also increase the ability of light, sandy soil to hold moisture and nutrients.
