Descriptor Lily (Lilium) TG/59/6.
Period 2007-2008
Conditions Comparative study conducted at Silvan (Latitude 37.5S,
Longitude 145.3E), VIC in an environmentally controlled
greenhouse during spring/early summer 2007/2008 (Southern
Hemisphere). Cool-stored bulbs planted into a cocopeat based
potting mix held in rectangular trays 55 x 35cm in area and
15-18cm deep. Plants spaced to express their true growth
characteristics. Plants throughout their life cycle maintained
under sound cultural practices. Overall plants growth
vigorous, free from stress.
Trial Design Trays for each variety were replicated twice and each tray
held up to 15 bulbs of flowering size.
Measurements Observations and measurements made at random from within
the plant population. Weak plants were rejected.
RHS Chart - edition
Measurements taken were, stem length excluding flower
head, length and width of leaves sampled midway along stem
and just under flower head, length and width of longest outer
tepal, and flower number in flower head.

Origin and Breeding
Controlled pollination: unnamed seed parent by unnamed pollen parent was crossed in
1995. ‘Zanlorsanna’ is the result of the random crossing of the proprietary seedlings
and this selection underwent testing from 1997 to 2003. All work conducted under
greenhouse conditions. Selection criteria: vigorous growth, erect flowers, attractive
flower colour, bud number per bulb size, and length of growth cycle. ‘Zanlorsanna’
has been flowered for a minimum of three generations and proved genetically stable.
Multiplication achieved by twin scaling of mature bulbs and in-vitro propagation.
Breeding directed by van Zanten Flowerbulbs B.V. at Hillegom, the Netherlands.
