Vigor — Strawflower (Xerochrysum bracteatum)

Xerochrysum bracteatum (Vent.) Tzvelev

A complex indicator of plant vitality reflecting the growth intensity of the above-ground part, bushiness, and flowering potential. It is visually assessed based on the rate of biomass accumulation, bush diameter, and stem quality.

In the reference 5 varieties crop Strawflower, where this is mentioned in the description.

Vigor in Xerochrysum bracteatum characterizes the plant's ability to form a well-branched bush and flower profusely. This trait is assessed visually, as there are no strictly standardized quantitative measurement methods for this crop.

High vigor is not always an advantage, as excessive vegetative development often leads to plant 'legginess' and a reduction in decorative value. However, assessing vigor helps agronomists calibrate fertilization and irrigation regimes, as well as determine the optimal cutting height to manage subsequent shoot formation.
