Variety traits

Peduncle — × Heucherella H. R. Wehrh.

x Heucherella H. R. Wehrh.

Peduncle height and strength are key characteristics of the ×Heucherella plant architecture, determining the decorative effect and stability of the plant.

In the reference 33 varieties crop Foamy bells, where this is mentioned in the description.

When evaluating a ×Heucherella cultivar, peduncle height is measured at full bloom, as peduncles tend to elongate during development. Optimal height values range from 20 to 60 centimeters. This indicator is evaluated in relation to the size of the leaf rosette: peduncles that are too short may be lost in the foliage, while those that are too tall may look disproportionate.

Peduncles bear paniculate inflorescences, which form the characteristic decorative appearance of the plant. Their strength is an important breeding criterion, as thin or disproportionately tall stems are prone to lodging, which reduces the marketability. Due to the sterility of the flowers in many cultivars, the peduncles retain their decorative appeal on the plant for longer.
