Tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa) is a fragrant, night-blooming flower. It features clusters of waxy, white, star-shaped blossoms on tall, slender spikes. The flowers emit a powerful, sweet, and intoxicating scent, especially at night. Its linear, grass-like leaves grow from the base. Tuberose is commonly used in perfumes and floral arrangements, especially wedding arrangements due to its elegant appearance and captivating aroma. It thrives in warm climates and well-drained soil.
