Variety traits

Diascia flower stem

Diascia Link & Otto

The flower stem and pedicel of diascia are key morphological traits in variety testing, determining inflorescence architecture and the ornamental value of the plant.

In the reference 7 varieties crop Twinspur, where this is mentioned in the description.

Under the DUS testing protocol for diascia, the flower stem and pedicel are evaluated as separate elements of the inflorescence. The main characteristics are the length of these elements and the angle of the pedicel relative to the flower stem, which are classified on a scale from small to large values in comparison to control varieties.

The parameters of the flower stem influence the density of the plant's terminal raceme. In agronomic practice, when removing spent inflorescences, it is recommended to retain a portion of the green flower stem to stimulate repeat blooming, while plant growth regulators are used to restrict its growth and form more compact plants.
