Seven promising cultivars, viz, Snow Princess, Melody, Aldebaran, Suchitra, Mayur, G-55 and CPG-6 (Pusa Suhagin) were selected for stability of performance in six environments. On the basis of mean performance, Snow Princess took minimum number of days for basal floret to open (63.80). Melody was a good performer as well as had average stability for most of the traits. Mayur produced maximum number of florets (16.80). Though Mayar produced less number of cormels per plant than Melody, yet it had better stability of performance. These cultivars, therefore, exhibited great promise for hybridization.
