Bulbs of Sternbergia fischeriana collected from the village Taslica of the province of Marmaris in the first weeks of March, April and May 1998 were planted after separating them into 4 groups based on size with three replications each at the experimental farms of the Department of Field Crops, Faculty of the Agriculture, University of Ankara, Turkey during 1998-2000. Percentage of emerging plants, percentage of flowering plants, percentage of plants setting fruits, number of leaves per plant and the plant height showed a range of 60.00- 96.67 %, 0-13.69 %, 0-7.50 %, 2.36-3.86 % and 12.61-17.69 cm during 1999 and 60.00-100.00 %, 33.60-96.97 %, 5.90-42.60 %, 5.00-11.33 and 15.14-19.23 cm during 2000, respectively.
