Variety traits

Peony lodging

Paeonia L.

The lodging trait in peonies is assessed as the ability of the stems to maintain a vertical bush habit under the weight of the inflorescences and is determined by the need for support.

In the reference 7 varieties crop Peony, where this is mentioned in the description.

In peony evaluation methodologies, lodging is classified into three groups depending on the plant's need for support: varieties that require constant support, forms that need support only during the flowering period due to the weight of the inflorescences, and stable plants that do not require additional fixation.

For this crop, the trait is a key economic and biological characteristic of ornamental value. Unlike agricultural field crops, the assessment is not tied to degrees of inclination or scoring scales, but is based on the biomechanical ability of the stem to maintain a vertical position under load.
