Planting Instructions (From Bulb into the Ground)

Plant tuberose bulbs in spring after danger of frost has passed and soil has warmed.

1. Choose the Location

Select a sunny, warm site with excellent drainage.
Ideal for borders, cutting gardens, or containers.

2. Prepare the Soil

Loosen soil 8–10 inches deep.
Mix in compost or sand if soil is heavy—drainage is critical.

3. Planting Depth & Spacing

Plant bulbs 2–3 inches deep with the pointed end facing up.
Space bulbs 6–8 inches apart.

4. Watering

Water thoroughly after planting.
Keep soil evenly moist during active growth, but avoid soggy conditions.

5. Growth Tip

Tuberose prefers warm soil—growth may be slow at first but speeds up in heat.
A light monthly feeding during the growing season can encourage more blooms.

Overwintering ‘Pink Parfait’ Tuberose

Tuberose is not frost hardy and must be protected in colder climates.

In-Ground (Zones 8–11)

After flowering, allow foliage to die back naturally.
Reduce watering during dormancy.
Apply a light mulch layer for winter protection in cooler parts of Zone 8.

In Zones 3–7 (Lift and Store Bulbs)

After First Frost: Foliage will yellow and die back.
Dig Bulbs: Carefully lift bulbs from soil.
Clean & Dry: Brush off soil and allow bulbs to dry for several days in a warm, airy space.
Store:
- Place in a box with peat moss or dry sawdust
- Store in a cool, dry location (50–60°F)
Check Occasionally: Discard any soft or rotting bulbs.
