Variety traits
Peduncle — Eucomis L'Her.
Eucomis L’Her.
The Eucomis peduncle is an erect, dense, and sturdy stem that develops from the center of the leaf rosette and bears an inflorescence topped with a crown of bracts.
In the reference 6 varieties crop Pineapple lily, where this is mentioned in the description.
The peduncle height in Eucomis varies from 20–30 cm in species such as Eucomis autumnalis to 90–100 cm in large cultivars of Eucomis comosa. This parameter is measured as the absolute height in centimeters from the base of the leaf rosette to the apex of the inflorescence.
Stem strength is a key quality trait determining lodging resistance. Peduncle length directly correlates with bulb size and light conditions: insufficient light leads to undesirable stem elongation, which diminishes the ornamental quality of the crop.
