Variety traits

Abundance and duration of Osteospermum flowering

Osteospermum L.

These traits are assessed as qualitative characteristics of ornamental value, determined by the density of inflorescence distribution on the plant and the plant's ability to maintain its appearance throughout the season.

In the reference 9 varieties crop Osteospermum, where this is mentioned in the description.

The abundance of Osteospermum flowering is characterized by the density of inflorescence formation on the plant and the intensity of new bud development, which directly correlates with the quality of the plant's branching. This indicator is assessed visually based on the degree of canopy coverage by flowers and does not have fixed quantitative metrics.

The duration of flowering spans the period from late spring to the first frosts, although it is limited by temperature conditions. Upon the onset of sustained heat, Osteospermum may temporarily cease bud initiation, resuming flowering once the air temperature drops.
