Chrysanthemum occupies one of the most important traditional flower and a place of pride, both as commercial flower crop and as pot plant. Though it is a commercially cultivated crop in our country, the location specific cultivars are not available. This experiment was to evaluate the performance and adaptability of different chrysanthemum genotypes under Hyderabad condition and to identify the genotypes suitable for pot mums. For this purpose, Completely Randomised Design with twelve treatments and three replications was established. Significant differences were obtained among the cultivars for all the vegetative parameters. Among the vegetative parameters the cultivars recorded ideal plant height were BidhanMadhuri (32.40 cm), Silper white (32.07 cm), Shova (31.60 cm), Red Stone (30.40 cm), Silper Yellow (28.60 cm), Red gold (27.67 cm), BidhanSwapna (26.67 cm), HYDC-2 (26.53 cm) and HYDC-8 (24.53 cm). Cultivars which produced optimum branches per plant were Red Stone (8.00), BidhanPurna (7.60), HYDC-2 (7.53), Red Gold (7.20), BidhanSwapna (6.13), Shova (5.93). Pot presentability score was highest for HYDC-2 (36.67 out of 40).
