The present investigations were carried out in the experimental block of the department of Floriculture and Landscape Architecture, College of Horticulture, Mudigere, Chikmagalur, Karnataka to characterize the Asiatic lily genotypes for flowering and quality of cut flowers under naturally ventilated polyhouse. The days taken for flower bud emergence were significantly differed among all the genotypes of Asiatic lily. The genotype Telisker was the earliest to show colour by taking (35.00 days) whereas, Ercolania (48.67 days) was late for expressing colour in its flower. The genotype Pirandeu was the earliest to show colour by taking minimum number of days followed by Telisker. The genotype Merluza (19.51 cm) followed by Courier (19.34 cm) produced significantly bigger sized flowers than any other genotypes. The genotypes viz., Pirandeu, CEB Dazzle, Dazzle, Courier, Pavia and Tresor recorded maximum number of spikes per square meter(24.00) while, the genotype Batistero recorded the minimum number (16.67). The genotype Pirandeu extended its vase life maximum up to (12.37 days) and found significantly superior over other genotypes and it was found to be on par with Pavia (12.17 days) whereas, the minimum number of days was recorded in Navona (7.73 days).
