Plant height varied considerably with highest plant (145.67 lowest GL-Akb-011 (89.33 cm). All general, more than 12 florets per spike, however GL-Akb-001 number spike (17.33). Vase life showed variation, had vase 9 days. weight corm found GL-Akb-004 (320.00 g). In respect variation plants, instance, quality, cormel production characters, most promising cultivation.
