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.

Good book if you are just getting started with the metaphysical.
Format: Kindle
I was excited to offer a review of this book in exchange for a copy. I have been interested in this topic but had yet to read up on it. It is an easy reading book and provides a good understanding of astral projection and provides steps to start exploring it. It is definitely a beginners book not just a beginners of astral projection. My reasoning for the three stars is the writing in the book goes from an instructional format to a humorous format and back again. The writing format is very inconsistent. There is also quite a bit of discussion around the legitimacy of metaphysical beliefs and other pieces that do not directly relate to astral projection but are necessary pieces to develop the confidence to astral project. Overall, I would recommend this book if you are interested in the topic but have not yet started to dig into other metaphysical topics.

Beautiful Unique Cookbook
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
This cookbook is filled with beautiful recipes, photographs and unique techniques to presenting your bakes. I don’t find the techniques outlined in the book to be at all intimidating, I can’t wait to jump in. With that being said, if decorating/food presentation is not your style then you can just keep it for the lovely macaron, cake and cookie recipes! I’m convinced though, if you can make a successful macaron then you can sponge paint on a cookie or dye a macaron red and throw some seeds on it. Give it a try at least!! The packaging was also very secure, it came shrink wrapped with a cardboard back so it arrived in perfect condition. I will update the review with more pictures once I have completed some bakes.

I first got this book out of our library and knew I wanted my own copy the second I opened it! The photography is gorgeous and makes me want to try every single thing! Beautiful colors and flavors and incredible looking bakes that are all very doable. Great instructions as well with temperatures in both F and C for wherever you're baking.
