Bidens flower stalk

Bidens ferulifolia (Jacq.) DC.

An important morphological characteristic of Bidens ferulifolia, which determines the position of inflorescences relative to the foliage, as well as the plant's decorative habit and compactness.

In the reference 6 varieties crop Apache beggartick, where this is mentioned in the description.

For Bidens ferulifolia, the flower stalk is a key parameter in DUS (distinctness, uniformity, and stability) testing. The main indicators measured include flower stalk length, which varies in the range of 1.5 to 8 cm, its diameter (from 0.3 to 1.5 mm), as well as the intensity of anthocyanin coloration and pubescence.

This trait directly influences the plant's architecture: the length of the flower stalk determines how far the inflorescences rise above the foliage, which is critical for creating a decorative effect in trailing and container forms. Agrotechnical features include the stimulation of new flower stalk growth after shoot pruning, which allows for rapid recovery of the bush's decorative appearance during the growing season.
