Abstract
Allium oreophilum starts to produce flower primordia just before wilti ng and continue this process during summer rest period. Flower differe ntiation is promoted by temperatures of 10-15 degrees C as compared wi th lower or higher temperatures. After bud formation, there is a low t emperature requirement: at least 4-6 weeks at 5 degrees C for bulblet formation and 12-15 weeks for elongation of leaves and flower stalks.
