Rajnigandha (tuberose) is a fragrant white flower prized for its strong, sweet evening scent. It's used as cut sticks/stems for bouquets and vases, woven into garlands for weddings and pujas, and as decor for events. Its long, straight spikes and lasting fragrance make it a favourite for Indian celebrations.

How to care for rajnigandha sticks & garlands
To keep rajnigandha fresh longer:
-
Sticks/stems: trim the stem ends diagonally and place in clean water; change the water every 1–2 days.
-
Keep them away from direct sun and heat, which shortens vase life.
-
Remove any lower leaves that sit below the waterline to prevent rot.
-
Garlands: store flat in a cool place; lightly mist with water and refrigerate if you must keep them overnight before an event.
-
Buds open progressively along the stem — buy with some buds still closed for a longer display.
