12 Tuberosa The Pearl Special Offer
CAM41
The Fragrance the Top French Perfumiers Pay a Fortune For.
You start with a bulb which looks nothing special. Dry. Brown. Easy to doubt this is going to produce one of the most in-demand perfumed plants. You plant it once the soil begins to warm, then more or less forget about it until the summer.
At first, green leaves appear. Neat, upright, not very exciting. This is the time you may wonder why there is such a fuss about Polianthes tuberosa ‘The Pearl’. If you leave alone and let the weather do its part, stems follow. Buds appear. Then one evening you walk past and notice an astounding fragrance long before you notice the flowers.
This offer is for 12 bulbs of Polianthes tuberosa ‘The Pearl’. These 12 sought after bulbs have a retail price with postage of £38.59. Your price WHILST STOCKS LAST is £17.35 with FREE delivery. Less than half-price!

Now you understand the reason so many gardeners plant near a door, by a path, or close to an open window. Sweet and clean, strong without being too much, you will be asked by friends what this extraordinary fragrance is.
The flowers do not all open together. One bloom is followed by another, over many weeks, which means the plant keeps giving rather than finishing all at once.

The top French perfumiers extract an oil from the petals to use in their high-end perfumes. Used in tiny quantities, this concentrate is called Tuberose Absolute and costs £12,000 per kilogramme.

The Flower Brides Still Carry, Planted in British Soil for Centuries
In many British gardens, May carries a scent no other plant quite matches.
Lily of the Valley — cherished in cottage borders for centuries — once filled posies carried through village lanes.

Then comes this scarce hard-to-find variety. ‘Majalis Rosea’ opens in soft blush pink, a gentler echo of the white form. Not loud. Not brash. A stylish variation collectors value and visitors notice.
Some gardeners wonder whether such delicate flowers will endure. Convallaria answers with resilience. Once planted, roots settle deep and return faithfully each year, spreading into generous drifts beneath trees and along shaded paths.
