[Objective] The research aimed to study the oriental lily introduction,to select the cultivated varieties suitable climatic conditions of Guyuan area and sum up the sowing period in line market. [ Method] 10 varieties were tested. The test was designed to 3 sowing periods,in each of which cultivated varieties were planted in the same solar greenhouse. A fully randomized block was chose,which was repeated 3 times,and the field was divided into 10 small districts (each species as a district). [Result] The results showed that in the solar greenhouse of the Guyuan area in Ningxia,10 species of the oriental lily garden characters were able to grow normally,flower and produce sub-standard cut flowers. Different sowing periods all had effect on the horticultural traits of different species. About July 30 was the best sowing period of the oriental lily. There was significant difference among varieties for resistance to Botrytis cinerea. Star Gazer, Peter Ossetia, Marshal,Sorbonne's disease index were less 15% , which had a higher degree of resistance to gray mold. The results of comprehensive evaluation of the characters by scoring the size of lower priority was as follow: The Siberian > Sorbonne > Marco Polo > Acapulco,Tiber > Con Amoer > Simplon,Mediterannee > Star Gazer > Casablanca. [Conclusion] When selecting Siberia, Sorbonne, Marco Polo, Acapulco, Tiber, and other varieties of cut flowers as the main lily varieties in the Guyuan area,the best sowing period can be identified as the initial on about July 30.
