The variety Akhila showed maximum number of leaves (29.32), plant height (28.12cm), plant spread (96.34cm), flower diameter (12.30cm), number of days taken for bud initiation (26.72), total number of flowers per plant (10.21), flower length (24.69), yield of flowers per tub (40.25). The variety “Super Lotus 14” was reported to require a longer duration for flower bud opening (18.10 days) compared to other varieties. The duration of flowering recorded in Akhila (10.39 days), followed by Sai Thung Sui (9.98 days).
