Notes
'The Pearl' tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa 'The Pearl') is a bulb for containers, cut flowers, and fragrant garden beds. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full sun. The double white flowers have a thick, sweet fragrance and may show hints of pink. Bees visit the blooms. Where winters are colder, grow it in a pot and store it in a frost-free place.
Pairs well with Society garlic, Mondo grass, and Anemone.
