Once you get your beautiful Tuberoses home, place them in water as soon as possible. Regularly prune any dead blooms or foliage to encourage longevity and maintain their beauty.
How should I care for Tuberose bulbs for next season?
If you are growing the bulbs in a climate where winter temperatures drop below freezing (USDA Zone 8 and below), make sure to dig them up every fall after the first frost.
