Abstract
Thirteen cultivars of Freesia hybrida were planted at Inthanon research station and Angkhang research station of the Royal Project Foundation, Chiang Mai, Thailand. Growth and development were different among cultivars of freesia at both stations. Plant height were 49.0-69.8 and 47.4-74.8 cm while the number of leaves were 8.4-11.4 and 10.4-14.0 leaves / plant at Inthanon and Angkhang station, respectively. Floral initiation and differentiation of freesia at Inthanon station occurred in December (62-65 days after planting). Freesia ‘St. Tropez' developed its flower about 20 days later than other cultivars.
