Evaluation of twenty chrysanthemum genotypes under was done under Bihar conditions during the year 2020-21 to identify the suitable variety for commercial and quality flower production. Twenty varieties namely Achievement, Alfred Simpson, Beutica Marry, Bolare Deo, Coronation Gold, Coronation Pink, Cassandra, Pompon Rosy Pink, Crimson Pretty Pottey, Crimson Crystal, Crimson Title, Dignity, Dorridge Queen, Duke of Kent, Frosty Whisker, Mahatma Gandhi, Miss India, Red Wine, Royal Prince, S.L. Andre were selected for their evaluation. This experiment was laid out in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with three replications. Significant differences were recorded among the evaluated chrysanthemum genotype for growth and flowering attributes. The genotype Pompon Rosy Pink was recorded with maximum plant height at first bud appearance (77.90 cm) and number of flowers per plant (88.35) along with second highest values for internodal length (4.05 cm) and flowering duration (40.35 days).Maximum number of primary branches per plant was observed in genotype Coronation Pink (20.35) and third highest number of flowers per plant (78.35).The maximum fresh weight of leaves was studied in genotype Bolare Deo (1.69 g) and internodal length ((4.79 cm) and it was early attained reproductive stage in 64.35 days among all genotype with second highest vase life (15.67 days).The maximum days taken to first flower opening showed the genotype Frosty Whisker (156.00 days) and minimum observed in Coronation pink (122.02 days). The genotype Red Wine reported maximum flower longevity on plant (20.02 days) with second highest flowering duration (40.35 days). The genotype CrimsonPrettyPottey obtained maximum flower duration (41.27 days).The genotype Achievement was recorded maximum flower yield per plant (746.31 g). The genotype Alfred Simpson exhibited significantly maximum vase life (16.33 days)
