The variety Suneel performed very well and gave significantly higher yield with maximum number of flowers per plant, flower weight and taller plants with maximum spread.

Period of flower freshness was noted significantly higher in Jayanti but flower size of Syamal was observed to be significantly bigger followed by those of Puja and Suneel.
