Forcing cycles speed growth and flowering in Western Red Lily Lilium Philadelphicum L.

Abstract:

The time required for growth and flowering of western red lily (Lilium philadelphicum L. [Liliaceae]) can be decreased by using accelerated growth cycles. Using 1 cycle, 1 y of growth can be achieved in 26 wk. Using 2 cycles, growth, survival, and blooming can be improved. Each cycle consists of 4 separate phases that represent the natural cycling of Saskatchewan's climate.
