Özet: This research was carried out during July-2016 and March-2017 with aim to determination of usability as dry bundle flower of ‘Raya’, ‘Munstead’, ‘Silver’, ‘Vera’, ‘Sevtopolis’ and ‘Super Blue’ lavanders belong to Lavandula angustifolia Mill. species and ‘Giant Hidcote’, ‘Dutch’, ‘Super A’, ‘Grosso’ and ‘Abrial’ lavandin belong to Lavandula x intermedia Emeric ex Lois. species for 4 years. Lavender cultivars, harvested at full flowering period in middle of July-2016, were storage 8 months at room temperature (24±2 oC). Measurements were done in the middle each month during eight months. The spike length 3.77-12.37 cm, the stem length with spike16.8-41.7 cm, the cluster number per spike 4.5-11.0 number spike-1, the dry weight rate 33.21-49.00 % and spill rate 0.72-2.96%  between varied  and generally spill rate was decreased from 1st month towards 8th month (varied between 0.02 and 0.60%). The highest L value showing the brightness of lavender flowers were determined in L. angustifolia var. Raya with 46.5 h0, +a value showing red color tone from L. angustifolia var. Super Blue with 3.26 h0 and –b value showing blue color tone from L. angustifolia var. Silver cultivars with 7.10 h0. While L and –b value of lavender cultivars were increased from 1st month towards 8th month, + a value was increased. Raya, Super Blue, Giant Hidcote and Sevtopolis cultivars were determined as favorable dry bundle flower species with more brightly colored and non-spill flower/ bud.
