For this purpose, primary data were collected from 115 flower cultivators and 45 controls from February to March, 2017. Descriptive statistics, step wise regression and Constraints Facing Index (CFI) were used for analysing data. Result shows that most of the farmers (76.5%) gained medium livelihood improvement through flower cultivation, while 13.9 percent had high impact of flower cultivation on their livelihood. Among the entire variables- attitude towards flower cultivation alone contribute 39.5 percent of the variation of the impact. The Majority (73.9%) of the flower farmers had medium constraints in flower cultivation. As per Constraint Faced Index (CFI) high labour wages positioned the first place as the constraints of flower cultivation.
