"Yeu", an Asiatic lily variety was released by the National Horticultural Research Institute (NHRI), in 2006. A crossing was made between Asiatic lily "Foxtrot", a orange colored cultivar, and Asiatic lily "A94-l" (White bird x Foxtrot), a orange colored cultivar in 1996. A promising line No. 9857 was selected in natural cultivation condition from the progenies of a cross combination between "Foxtrot" and "A94-1" in 1998. The flower characteristics and cultivation performance of "Yeu" were investigated from 2000 to 2005 named as Wongyo C1-85. The natural flowering time of "Yeu" was the middle of June, but year-round cut flower production was possible by storing the bulbs under -1 to -2℃ conditions. The flower has unspotted, upward facing, and orange petals without fragrance. The plant height at the natural flowering time is 50±5.7 cm. The width of flower is 12.6±0.5 cm. The weight and circumference of bulb are 18.4±6.8 g and 12.4±2.2 cm, respectively. For forcing culture, it is necessary to add calcium to the fertilizer or remove side scales to prevent leaf scorch. Botrytis disease should be properly controlled especially in wet season.
