Breeding of an Asiatic Hybrid Lily ‘Heugjinju’ with Unspotted Black Red Petals

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

An Asiatic hybrid lily cultivar ‘Heugjinju’ was released in 2005 at National Institute of Horticultural and Herbal Science (NIHHS), Rural Development Administration (RDA) of Korea. The cross was made in 1996 between Lilium Asiatic hybrid ‘Nerone’, black red colored, and L. Asiatic hybrid ‘La Toya’, purple colored. It was preliminarily selected as ‘A98-91’ in 1998. Its multiplication, bulbing, growth and flowering characteristic tests were conducted from 1999 to 2005. The new cultivar ‘Heugjinju’ flowers in the middle of June and grows 73.2 cm in height. Flowers bloom upward-facing, and have unspotted grayed purple (RHS, 187A) petals. Year-round flowering is possible by storage of the bulb under -1.5℃ conditions. For forcing culture, it is necessary to add calcium to the fertilizer or remove side scales to prevent leaf scorch. Botrytis disease control is needed in the wet season.
