Tiger lily heights controlled with flurprimidol preplant bulb soaks

The appropriate concentration of flurprimidol for the 'orange tiger' tiger lily has been evaluated by scientists, who tested for residual effects of flurprimidol the following year. These researchers found that flurprimidol used at optimal concentrations does not affect plant growth or flowering during the second season. The team also found differential responses to flurprimidol for three other tiger lily cultivars, and recommended that growers conduct preplant bulb soak trials to determine optimal concentrations before applying flurprimidol to an entire crop.
