Lily plant height

Lilium L.

The height of a lily is a key agronomic trait that determines the cultivar's intended use and cultivation technology. It is measured as the distance from the soil surface to the apex of the plant or the point of inflorescence attachment.

In the reference 473 varieties crop Lily, where this is mentioned in the description.

Lily cultivars are classified by height into dwarf (up to 50 cm), which are suitable for pot culture, medium-tall (60–120 cm), and tall (150–200 cm or more). This metric is taken into account during official cultivar testing and depends on both the genetic characteristics of the hybrid group and growing conditions.

Plant height determines planting density, the need for staking to support stems under the weight of inflorescences, and positioning in tiered garden design. In container floriculture, the compactness of the cultivar is a deciding factor in choosing the container, and soil moisture deficit can lead to a significant reduction in height relative to typical cultivar values.
