This study was carried out to investigate growth characteristics for selection of proper wild-flowers for indoor pot culture from April to September. Light was treated 6 grades of 1k, 2k, 3k, 5k, 7k and 10klux using shading net under rain-shelter shaded 50% shading net. Wild-flower species were used fourteen species of Saxifraga stolonifera, Heloniopsis orientalis, Hylomecon hylomeconoides, Hepatica asiatica, Aquilegia buergeriana, Ixeris stolonifera, Caltha palustris ect. This plants were cultivated one year in pot(4 inch). The results were as follows : Shading condition on the plant height and ornamental worth during cultivation period of several wild flowers, It was highly appeared to cultivated under 7klux for Aceriphyllum rossii and Sedum oryzifolium,, under 5klux for Caltha palustris, Aquilegia buergeriana, Ixeris stolonifera, Thymus quinquecostatus, Dracocephalum argunense, under 3klux for Hepatica asiatica and Hylomecon hylomeconoides, under 1klux for Saxifraga stolonifera and Heloniopsis orientalis. Among wild-flowers of 14 species, wild flowers for potential indoor pot cultivation were selected eleven species of Saxifraga stolonifera, Heloniopsis orientalis Hylomecon hylomeconoides, Hepatica asiatica, Aquilegia buergeriana, Ixeris stolonifera, Caltha palustris, Thymus quinquecostatus, Dracocephalum argunense, Aceriphyllum rossii and Sedum oryzifolium. because selected wild flowers showed good performances in ornamental worth and period of flower and leaf, also short plant height and small leaves.
