Abstract
Sparaxis corms were planted on 20.04, 29.04, 10.05 and 20.05. The highest number of flower stems and flowers were obtained when planting corms on the earliest date. The longest blooming (42-83 days) was when corms were planted in the first decade of May. Delaying of planting successively decreased a number of inflorescences and flowers. Planting corms from the second decade of April till the first decade of May allows to maintain blossom continuity from the half of July till the end of August (in Lubelszczyzna region).
