Misty Blue at Greenhouse Complex, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari during September-2014 to May-2015. Results of the experiment revealed that application of salicylic acid @ 150 mg/l recorded significantly higher plant height (20.95 cm), minimum days to flowering (84.07) with maximum inflorescence length (172.90 cm) whereas application of gibberellic acid @ 200 mg/l recorded significantly maximum number of shoots per plant (1.80), flowering duration (16.60 days), weight of inflorescence per plant (79.24 g), number of inflorescences per plant (5.93) and vase life (6.13 days) in limonium flowers var.
