Laboratory similarity of introduced Chinese calisthephus varieties has been investigated with a view to further using seedlings in soil conditions of the best genotypes. Also, the main task was to determine the actual intensity of seeds germination in the studied varieties of Chinese callistephus in the laboratory.
The studies uexamined 20 introduced varieties of Chinese calisthephus plants with diff erent characteristics, origin and direction of use, with their further study on the main economic and valuable features for landscaping. As a result of the studies conducted on the similarity of Chinese introduced calicephus varieties seeds with diff erent economic traits, productivity and direction of use, the genotypes were isolated and grouped, on average over the years, with high, medium and low coeffi cient of similarity.
Accordingly, the germination control was performed starting from the fourth day after sowing. It should be noted that the sprouts were not recorded in six varieties, respectively – in the Malynovyi shar, Esmeralda, Vesnyanka, Syedaya Dama, Salmon Turm and Sofi a. The varieties of Oksamyt, Oksana, Princess and Amber had a similarity rate of 10 %.

Medium and high rates of seed germination (50–90 %) were recorded in the varieties of Odarka, Hilda, Snizhana, Anastasia (Soph.), Winter Cherry, Alexandra, Swan Lake and King Size (red), which will further enable the respective varieties research on the study of economic biological, and most importantly the decorative properties of introduced varieties for the purpose of their further use in the landscape gardening.
