Soil and care

The right care,at the right time.

Watering

Water regularly, without saturating the soil. Before watering, check the moisture level under the surface with your finger rather than following a fixed schedule. Recent rain, wind, and container cultivation can quickly alter water needs. Direct the water towards the soil, at the base of the plant, and allow any excess to drain freely. In a pot, empty the saucer if it retains water after watering.

Soil type

The soil you are looking for should be rich, humiferous, and well-drained, with a neutral to slightly acidic pH. Check drainage after rain: water should be able to drain away from the root zone. Work the soil when it is dry to avoid compacting it. Adjust amendments to its actual texture. For container planting, use appropriate potting soil and a pot with drainage holes. Keep these openings clear and avoid any water accumulation in the saucer.

Fertilization

Before adding any fertilizer, consider the richness of your soil and any prior applications. A soil analysis can help in selecting useful amendments. If you use a fertilizing product, follow the dosage, frequency, and application method indicated on its packaging. Avoid concentrated applications directly against the roots. Do not over-apply products: an excessive amount of fertilizer does not guarantee better growth or more abundant flowering.

Seasonal care

In pots: Perfect for terraces, balconies, and patios, to fully enjoy its captivating fragrance. To plant successfully, plant bulbs 4 cm (2 in) deep and space them 15 cm (6 in) apart. Then, choose a sunny location, but protected from strong winds. Then, water regularly to maintain consistent moisture. Then, add a phosphorus-rich fertilizer to stimulate abundant flowering. Tip: Plant it near a terrace or walkway to fully enjoy its delicate fragrance on summer evenings! Fertilizer: Use a flowering plant fertilizer every two weeks during the growing season. Pruning: Deadhead faded flowers to prolong blooming. In cold zones (3-9), dig up bulbs before the first frosts. Store them in a dry, cool place before replanting in spring.

Pair it with oriental lilies and fragrant roses for an intoxicating floral ambiance! Throughout the seasons, observe new shoots, soil moisture, and the condition of the stems. A durable label allows you to locate the planting during its dormancy. Clean tools after cutting diseased parts and remove degrading debris around the base.

Container growing

A garden,within reach.

Container growing requires you to plan for the necessary root volume and the plant's final height. Choose a stable pot with drainage holes and a substrate suitable for planting. Leave enough space to respect the recommended depth and spacing, rather than crowding the plants to immediately fill the pot. Place the container in the indicated exposure and regularly check the moisture, especially in hot or windy weather. A pot is more exposed to temperature variations than a plant in the ground. Therefore, plan for a wintering location from the start that is compatible with the plant's needs and your region's climate.

In winter, protect the container according to the plant's needs: its roots are more exposed to cold than when planted in the ground.

Garden associations

In goodcompany.

Companion plants

To accompany Tuberose double ‘Love’, consider plants chosen for compatible light exposure and water needs. Select neighboring varieties based on their height, flowering period, and the colors you wish to combine. Above all, ensure that their light exposure and water requirements suit the same location. Maintain enough distance so that leaves do not obscure young shoots and to easily access each plant during maintenance. These pairings serve to compose the garden's décor; they do not guarantee protection against pests or diseases. Adjust the layout after observing one growing season.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions,answered.

How to successfully plant Double Tuberose 'Love'?
Ideal soil: Rich, humus-filled and well-drained, with a neutral to slightly acidic pH. From March to May, after the last frosts. In the ground: Ideal for fragrant borders and sunny beds. In pots: Perfect for terraces, balconies, and patios, allowing you to fully enjoy its captivating fragrance. To ensure successful planting, plant bulbs 4 cm (2 in) deep and space them 15 cm (6 in) apart. Then, choose a sunny location but protected from strong winds. Afterward, water regularly to maintain constant moisture. Finally, add a phosphorus-rich fertilizer to stimulate abundant flowering. Keep a durable label to easily locate this planting during its dormant period.
What light should I provide for Double Tuberose 'Love'?
The recommended exposure is sun to partial shade. Observe the light in your chosen location in the morning and afternoon, as the shade from trees or buildings changes throughout the day. Also consider nearby plants: their foliage can obscure a young planting as it develops. In a container, place the pot where you can move it if conditions become too hot or too shady. Suitable exposure must go hand in hand with appropriate soil and watering. If you move a plant started indoors outdoors, gradually accustom it to garden conditions to avoid too abrupt a transition for young leaves.
How to adjust watering?
Water according to the actual soil moisture, taking into account rain, heat, and wind. Check below the surface before deciding on a new watering: soil that is dry on the surface may still be moist at the root level. Direct water to the base and allow it to penetrate, without keeping the plant in saturated soil. Containers generally require more frequent checks because they dry out faster. Make sure their drainage holes remain clear and empty any saucers that collect water. Also, adapt care to the plant's cycle: active growth and a dormant period do not require the same amount of water.
What to plan for container gardening?
Container gardening requires planning for the necessary root volume and the plant's final height. Choose a stable pot with drainage holes and a suitable growing medium. Leave enough space to respect recommended depth and spacing, rather than crowding plants to immediately fill the pot. Place the container in the indicated exposure and regularly check the moisture level, especially in hot or windy weather. A pot is more exposed to temperature variations than planting in the ground. Therefore, plan from the outset for a wintering location compatible with the plant's needs and your region's climate.
What aftercare should I plan for after the growing season?
Tip: Plant it near a patio or walkway to fully enjoy its delicate fragrance on summer evenings! Fertilizer: Use a flowering plant fertilizer every two weeks during the growing season. Pruning: Deadhead spent flowers to prolong blooming. In cold regions (zones 3-9), dig up the bulbs before the first frost. Store them in a cool, dry place before replanting in spring. Easy to grow and perfect for pots or in the ground. Add a romantic and fragrant touch to your garden with the Double Tuberose 'Love'!
