Shorter-stemmed Easter lilies: Blooms produced in April on shorter-stemmed plants by using variable low temperatures during portions of forcing period

Harry C. Kohl

Abstract

Commercial Easter lily forcers frequently have finished plants that are too tall. Shorter plants can be obtained by forcing at lower than the usual night temperature of 60°F. However, such plants—forced at low temperature—need a long forcing period and bloom in June rather than during the Easter season.
