Abstract:Hippeastrum striatum is bulbous flower of Amaryllidaceae, which has high ornamental value and economic benefits. Eight cultivars of H. striatum were introduced to analyze the adaptability in order to select the cultivars suitable in Shenzhen. The ornamental traits of three varieties of H. striatum‘Amigo’, H. striatum ‘Glee’ and H. striatum ‘Blossom Peacock’were further studied. The results showed that the ornamental duration of three H. striatum cultivars were 27, 24 and 25 days respectively. However, there were some differences in leaf and scape characters, flowering period, flower characters and ornamental time, which should be considered in application. It was recommended that H. striatum ‘Amigo’ and H. striatum ‘Glee’ could be used in the form of potted flowers and urban gardens, and H. striatum ‘Blossom Peacock’ could be applied in the form of cut flowers.
