Abstract
Mid-Century hybrid lilies (Lilium × elegans Thunb.) ‘Kiyotsu-beni’ and ‘Enchantment’ were subjected to bulb vernalization and shoot photoperiod treatments. Both cultivars required a minimum of 4 weeks of bulb vernalization at 5°C to promote shoot emergence and rapid flowering at 21°. Flower number was not influenced by shoot photoperiod treatments. A split temperature of 5°/9° at 2-week intervals accelerated flowering of ‘Kiyotsu-beni’. Flower numbers of ‘Enchantment’ were increased when bulbs were given 2°/2°. The optimum vernalization temperature was 5° or 9° for ‘Kiyotsu-beni’, and 2° for ‘Enchantment’.
