Tuberose (Polianthus tuberosa L.) member of Amaryllidaceae family, native of Mexico, is widely grown in Asia. Tuberoses are among the most fragrant of all garden plants and are easily cultivated. It is usually cultivated in Morocco, France, Hawaii, South Africa, India and China. The growers commonly use the two well-known tuberose varieties Single Mexican and The Double Pearl. The former is preferred for its enticing fragrance, while the Double Pearl is preferred in flower arrangements due to the density of the flowers on its spikes. The Pearl also exudes fragrance characteristics of the tuberose, but to a lesser extant than the Single Mexican variety. Single flowers have 6 petals while double have 12. Tuberose blooms in late summer/autumn. Clustered spikes of tuberose are star shaped and waxy loosely arranged on spikes that can reach 3 to 4 feet in height.
