Notes
'Pink Sapphire' tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa 'Pink Sapphire') is a bulb for pots and fragrant plantings. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full sun. The double, lavender-pink flowers open on spikes and look like lilies. They bloom in early to late summer and again in early to mid autumn. Where winters are colder, grow it in a pot and store it in a frost-free place.
Pairs well with Society garlic, Stonecrop, and Alina rose.
