Care Instructions:

1. Planting: Plant tuberose bulbs in spring when the danger of frost has passed. Place them 2-4 inches deep and space them about 6-8 inches apart.
2. Sunlight: They require full sun to partial shade. Ensure they receive at least 6-8 hours of sunlight daily for optimal flowering.
3. Watering: Maintain even moisture in the soil during the growing season, being careful not to overwater. Reduced watering is needed when the plant goes dormant.
4. Soil: Well-draining, fertile soil enriched with organic matter is ideal. Although they are tolerant of various soil types, overly compacted soils should be avoided.
5. Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer during the growing season to encourage robust growth and prolific blooming.
6. Maintenance: Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and cut back the foliage after it has died back naturally in the fall.
7. Winter Care: In cooler climates, dig up the bulbs after the first frost and store them in a cool, dry place until replanting in spring.
