Fuchsia Double-Flowering

Fuchsia L.

Fuchsia double-flowering is a qualitative trait of floral structure caused by an increase in the number of petals in the corolla beyond the standard four.

In the reference 12 varieties crop Fuchsia, where this is mentioned in the description.

In fuchsia, the double-flowering trait is determined by the morphological structure of the corolla. Flowers are classified as single, possessing a standard set of four petals, as well as semi-double and double, which are characterized by a significant increase in their number. There are no clear numerical boundaries between these categories, therefore classification is based on a visual assessment of the corolla density.

This trait is a key criterion in selection breeding and the evaluation of the commercial value of hybrids. Agronomic practice shows that the full expression of double-flowering can depend on environmental conditions, such as temperature and light levels, under which abnormalities in bud opening may occur.
