Single Mexican Tuberose

Single Mexican Tuberose

Delightful, small, waxy white flowers add a bit of the tropics to the summer garden. Single Mexican Tuberose features fragrant flowers that attract pollinators during the summer months. It's also a superb cut flower. The fragrance of tuberose has long been used in perfumes to provide soft middle notes that linger. This seductive aroma has made tuberose one of the most sought-after blooms for fragrant cutting gardens and as a border plant. Though native to Mexico, tuberose performs very well in sunny northern landscapes. Lovely spikes of soft flowers appear in early summer and retain their beauty and sweet perfume all season long.
