In the reference 10 varieties crop Amazon sword, where this is mentioned in the description.
In Echinodorus, the flower stalk is not only a generative organ but also the primary tool for propagation. Adventitious daughter plants develop at its nodes, which determines the productivity of a cultivar in nurseries. The length of the flower stalk varies significantly depending on growing conditions and plant form, ranging from 5 centimeters to 2.5 meters.
The morphology of the flower stalk serves as an important species-specific trait: they can be either erect or prostrate. The ability of flower stalks to lodge and facilitate the rooting of daughter rosettes upon contact with the substrate creates a specific creeping growth habit in a number of species, which is a significant characteristic when evaluating a plant's viability and ornamental qualities.
