Polianthes tuberose 'The Pearl'

This wonder of a flower is bright white, double and very, very fragrant. Grow them in containers in warm, well drained soil in the full sun. Enjoy!

Tuberose are so fragrant that they should be grown in small groups in the garden and mixed with other flowers in bouquets. 'The Pearl' produces sturdy, double flowers that grow on slender stalks. Polianthes dates back to the Aztecs in Mexico who used the essential oil of the plant to flavour chocolate. Today the oil is a key ingredient in perfumes.
