Polianthes tuberosa and Caladium

Post by Patrushka »

I need help finding a source for these. I want to get them for my mom. I'm looking for the single tuberose. I misplaced my paper with the names of the caladium choices but I think Frieda Hemple was one of them. Has anyone ordered them online? I welcome your recommendations. Thanks. :D

Pat, Park's Seed is the route to go. One the tubrose, why not the double as they are prettier than the single.

Thanks Karma! :D I didn't even think of them. :roll: I have ordered from them a few times over the years.

:lol: I thought mom wanted the single tuberose. I just found my paper and it says P. tuberose 'Pearl' so the double it is. 8-)

They are sold out of 'Frieda Hemple' by itself but they have a nice collection with three varieties including FH. You get 15 bulbs. I doubt mom wants that many so I'll have to share them with her. :lol: :D
