All about the Polianthes

A real eye-catcher, the Polianthes. Also known as the tuberose, this flower is loved in bouquets for its elegant and enchanting appearance.

The name Polianthes is derived from the Greek word poly, meaning 'many', and anthos, meaning flower. This name refers to the abundant flowers the plant can produce.

One of the Polianthes' most unique and valued characteristics is its sweet, intoxicating fragrance. The flowers emit an intense, floral and sensual fragrance, which adds to its appeal in bouquets. Not for nothing is it often used in romantic perfumes... Tuberose is a precious perfume ingredient: as many as 1,200 kilos of flower buds are needed for 2 dl of oil!
