Variety traits
Echinacea peduncle
Echinacea Moench.
The Echinacea peduncle is the stem bearing the inflorescence and serves as a key morphological characteristic in assessing a variety for distinctness, uniformity, and stability.
In the reference 19 varieties crop Coneflower, where this is mentioned in the description.
In professional agronomy, the Echinacea peduncle is characterized by its length from the base to the inflorescence, color intensity, degree of pubescence, and strength. Peduncle height varies from 45 cm in dwarf varieties to 150 cm in plants intended for commercial cut flower production.
The peduncle strength trait determines a variety's resistance to lodging caused by wind and precipitation. In agrotechnology, monitoring the condition of the stems is critical: peduncle deformation serves as an important diagnostic marker for viral infection, and timely pruning in the plant's first year of life promotes better rooting and overwintering of the root system.
