This double 'Pearl' started from bulbs few years ago, had multiplied many many times since then. This one is in a pot in Rockledge, Florida (32955). This is Photo #1 of 2.

THEY MULTIPLY QUICKLY AND WE SEPARATE THE BULBS EVERY 2 YEARS. THEY ARE VERY FRAGRENT AND MAKE A GOOD CUT FLOWER. WE ARE IN ZONE 9a. THE SOIL IS NEUTRAL AND THEY ARE REGULARLY WATERED.

Both the single and double tuberose look identical as bulbs. This is after a single season's growth.
