A field experiment was conducted at Horticultural Nursery, Horticultural Research cum Instructional Farm, College of Agriculture, Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur (C.G.) during the kharif year 2024-25. The experimental design utilized a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with 5 treatments, included four replications. The treatments were S₁, S₁₄, S₁₅, S₁₆ and S₁₉. The present investigation revealed that the genotype S₁₉ exhibited significantly superior vegetative growth parameter, as evidenced by the maximum plant height (65.33 cm), the highest number of leaves Plant^-1 (38.25), the highest number of sprout bulb^-1 (3.58) and highest leaf area (221.87 cm²). In terms of flowering parameters, S₁₉ showed significantly maximum number of flower bud flower stalk^-1 (15.75), maximum number of flower bud plant^-1 (41.41), maximum Diameter of flower (137.12 mm) and highest shelf life of flower (1.70 days). For bulb parameters, S₁₉ demonstrated the highest number of bulbs plant^-1 (10.75), number of bulblets plant^-1 (7.41) and bulb diameter (71.73 mm). Thus, it can be concluded that S₁₉ is the most promising genotype for vegetative growth, flowering and bulb parameters for C. G. condition. Therefore, this genotype maybe most suitable for Landscape cultivation and garden display under the Chhattisgarh conditions.
