How Do Tuberose Grow

How Do Tuberose Grow

Plant tuberose bulbs in spring when all danger of frost is past. Place the rhizomes 2 to 4 inches (5-10 cm.) deep and 6 to 8 inches (15-20 cm.) apart, in well-draining soil in a sunny spot.

Do tuberose come back every year?

Not technically a bulb, tuberoses are perennial flowering plants which are native to warm weather regions. For those living outside its warmer hardiness zone, tuberose can also be grown as an annual. However, they will need to be lifted and stored for the winter.

How do I get my tuberose to bloom?

To encourage your plant to bloom, allow it to become root-bound. Instead of regularly repotting it, keep the plant snug and happy by adding just a layer of fresh potting soil each spring. You also might consider supplemental lighting.
