Fragrant Tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa) - Yellow, 1 bulb

Tuberose is a popular plant known for its beautiful flowers and wonderful fragrance.

In summer, it blooms with yellow flowers that grow vertically along long, slender stems.

The flowers have a pleasant floral scent.
Its fragrance, sometimes described as sensual, intensifies at night, which is why it's called Gekkako (moonlit fragrance) in Japanese and also known by the alias Yeraishan (night-blooming fragrance).

The components of its scent differ between day and night, with a particularly rich aroma said to be released under the moonlight.

The scientific name tuberosa comes from Latin, meaning swollen or tuberous, indicating that tuberose is a plant that forms bulbs.

Tuberose is sensitive to cold, and its bulbs can die if exposed to frost.
In warmer regions, the bulbs can overwinter without being dug up. However, in other areas, they should be dug up in autumn, dried, and stored indoors away from freezing temperatures, then planted around May.

Tuberose flowers can be easily plucked one by one. In Hawaii, they are strung together to make leis or floated in bathtubs for a flower bath.

As cut flowers, they last well, and when displayed indoors, the room fills with the scent of tuberose.
