Hyacinth flower stalk

Hyacinthus orientalis L.

The hyacinth flower stalk is a key morphometric indicator of ornamental value and marketability, assessed by height during the mass flowering phase.

In the reference 16 varieties crop Common hyacinth, where this is mentioned in the description.

The length of the Hyacinthus orientalis flower stalk is measured as the distance from the base to the top of the inflorescence in centimeters and is used as a DUS criterion in variety testing. The biological height limit is up to 45 cm, although varietal variation ranges from 15 to 45 cm depending on the genotype and growing conditions.

This trait determines the market quality of the plant for forcing and cut flower production. To ensure proper bulb development and nutrient accumulation for the subsequent growing season, monitoring the condition of the flower stalk is required, as its development is an energy-intensive process for the plant.
