Abstract
Five varieties viz., Caesar, Aymara, Ivory, Jewel, and Triticaca were in use for the study in Randomized Complete Block Design with five replications. Significant differences among cultivars were noted for all attributes evaluated. Variety Triticaca had maximum stalk length and diameter, spathe length and breadth, spadix length, vase life and flowers per plant. Through present analysis it is noticed that, variety Titicaca are exceedingly preferred because of its attractive flowers, excellent flower size, yield potentiality and long shelf life.

Summary
Anthurium (Anthurium andraeanum) is a slow-growing perennial flowering plant that requires shady, humid conditions as found in tropical forests. Anthurium characteristically produces numerous inflorescences subtended by brightly colored spathes, which are carried on long, slender peduncles. The Netherlands is the world’s leading producer and exporter followed by Mauritius. Considering the importance of this flower crop, there is a foremost need to evaluate some of the leading anthurium cultivars for cut flower production so that, suitable variety could be recommended for Bangladesh. Identification of suitable varieties for yield, quality, and vase life is beneficial to the anthurium growers to obtain maximum yield of good quality flowers and returns. Keeping the above points in view, present investigation was taken up with following objectives that, to distinguish the yield performance of different varieties of anthurium commonly available in Bangladesh, under shade house condition and to assess the quality and vase life as cut flower
