Notes
'Love' tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa 'Love') is a bulb that bears double, deep rosy-red flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full sun. The fragrant blooms open on spikes that reach 2 to 3 feet tall and attract bees. Rabbits tend to nibble other plants first. Where it is not hardy, grow it in a pot and store it in a frost-free location.
Pairs well with Anemone, Society garlic, and Mondo grass.
