Peduncle — Pelargonium zonale

Pelargonium zonale (L.) L'Hér.

The peduncle is a key morphological trait of Pelargonium zonale, determining its ornamental value, plant habit, and suitability for landscaping or container cultivation.

In the reference 70 varieties crop Horseshoe pelargonium, where this is mentioned in the description.

When evaluating a Pelargonium zonale cultivar, the number, height, and strength of the peduncles are taken into account. These parameters determine the plant class: sturdy and short peduncles are preferred for container cultivation and dwarf forms, whereas taller ones are acceptable for landscaping, provided they maintain resistance to lodging from wind and precipitation.

Peduncle strength directly affects the scoring of a cultivar's potential, as drooping or excessively elongated stems reduce ornamental appeal. Agronomic care for the crop includes the procedure of removing spent peduncles, which stimulates further flowering and maintains the commercial attractiveness of hybrids.
