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.

Holy Wow!
Color: White, Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
These pillows are so fluffy and material is really soft. They came vacuumed packed. I thought well this will be a return for sure. Followed the directions and placed them in my dryer for 15 minutes. Could not believe how big and fluffy they were. My company always ask for the link and I have ordered them for family members and for myself 4 times. Mine I’ve had over a year and have kept their shape and fluffiness. If you like a fluffy pillow…this is the one. They are the best!!!

Comfortable and good quality
Color: White, Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
So comfortable! We stayed at an Airbnb that used these pillows and went home and ordered some! These are similar to another more expensive pillow I’ve used but way better price. The filling feels nice and they don’t go flat or get lumpy so far.

Firm/No Pillowcase To Fit/Gives Full Neck & Head Support
Color: White, Size: Standard
While the material cover is soft and the filling in the pillow itself is soft, there is too much filling stuffed inside. But to be fair I have a serious neck problem. I feel that if we were given the option to remove some of the filling to meet our comfort level then this would be the perfect pillow. I have been trying to find a pillow with that option. I will be cutting the pillow to remove the filling and place it in another pillow that has a zipper on the side to add inside. Over the yrs that pillow stuffing has become lumpy and needed replacing and can’t find another like it or the right filling. Luckily this pillow has the right stuffing so I am happy with my purchase. My husband has the second pillow and does agree with me that it is a bit on the firm side but he likes the firmness of it and it does support his head & neck well and it is comfortable. Only big issue for us is that there are no pillowcases to fit. When trying to fit a pillowcase on it - it makes the pillow way too tight & firm and uncomfortable. They need to make a pillowcase for this pillow. A standard, Queen, king does not fit. UPDATE: 1/13/2025 This order came with 2 pillows. My husband has the 2nd pillow and so far he has no complaints with the pillow. For me to be fair I have serious issues with my neck. I have a lot of hardware in my neck including several small rods in my neck so to find a good pillow to be comfortable is very difficult to find. My only solution is to have a pillow with a zipper which I can remove or add the filling as needed, it just has to be the right kind of filling. This pillow has the right kind of filling to where I can put inside my original pillow that I have. Over time the filling just becomes lumpy and uncomfortable to which I need to refill with new filling. After a long search I found this pillow which had the same kind of filling I’ve been looking for to restuff my pillow. So with that said I can’t really review this product myself except to say that it has the right filling inside to help me with my sleeping but I can say with what my husband tells me which is he has no complaints, in fact he is happy with it and it supports his head & neck well. If you have a serious neck problem this might not be the pillow for you unless you already have a pillow with a zipper and can restuff it with any kind of filling then I do recommend the filling in this pillow. Sorry for the long review but I do hope it helps anyone who is struggling and is in the same situation as me.

Quality maintained
Color: White, Size: Queen
A client I service has these. She said she got them YEARS ago at Macy’s. Each time I change her linens I admire them for their plumpness. I found the well worn name tag then ordered hoping the quality hadn’t fallen since “years ago.” As pillows differ for everyone, I have found MY comfort level with this pillow.
