In present study on flower and bulb production of Asiatic hybrid lily (Lilium spp) cv. Brunello, the response of size of bulb, growing conditions and depth of planting were tested. Field experiment was conducted in CSIR-Institute of Himalayan Bioresource Technology, Palampur during 2008-2010. The bulbs were planted at spacing 15×15 cm row to row and bulb to bulb in November. The results have been explained on the basis of mean data of two years and indicated that among the different size of bulb, showed maximum length of flower shoot and number of flower buds/ shoot (69.90 cm and 7.34 respectively) in 5.30 cm diameter of bulb with the depth of 12.50 cm planting. The maximum yield of bulbs and bulblets were recorded in 5.30 cm diameter bulbs were planted at 17.50 cm depth under shade net conditions.
