Abstract
Forcing of Polygonatum odoratum var. pluriflorum NARUKO-RAN
(variegated genotypes) was investigated.
The dormancy of NARUKO-RAN breaks in December by exposure to natural low temperatures.
Chilling treatments of rhizomes are effective to force sprout and flowering.
Higher night temperatures produced earlier flowering, but the differences in the number of days to flower was small.
Marketable quality of NARUKO-RAN can be produced in early spring if rhizomes are stored at 5C for 10-70 days from December and planted in a greenhouse without heating.
