The flowering time is different between them. Purple jasmine usually blooms during the day, and when the flowers bloom, they are also accompanied by a very pleasant fragrance. But tuberose is just like its name. It usually blooms at night. Although it has a fragrance when it blooms, you should not smell it too much because the fragrance is poisonous, while the fragrance of purple jasmine is not poisonous, so you can’t see it. In this regard, there is a big difference between them.
