Goldenrod (Solidago x hybrida) is one of the most traded cut foliage in the world, used as a popular filler in flower arrangements and bouquets. In cut flower, it is desirable to have a long post-harvest storage period and vase life. However, long storage periods shorten vase life. Managing the storage period is important to prevent quality and quantity loss of the product. In this study, it was aimed to determine the effects of different storage periods on the vase life of cut goldenrod flower. Solidago x hybrida cv 'Golden Glory' was used as plant material in the study. The flowers were stored dry at different periods (0, 5, 10 and 15 days) in a cold storage (2-4 oC) and then their vase life was measured. The vase life of the flowers used as control was measured without storage. In the study, chlorophyll density in leaves (SPAD) and relative fresh weight at pre and post storage stages were measured. In the research, the longest vase life was found with no-storage application (control) with 15.27 days. This was followed by 12.13 days of application stored for 5 days. Extending the storage period resulted with significant leaf yellowing and reduction of vase life. The results showed that the longest vase life of cut goldenrod flowers was at no-storage application condition. However, although storing for 5 days decreased the vase life of the flowers by 20% compared to the control, it was concluded that cut goldenrod flowers could be stored for 5 days.
