The Agapanthus inflorescence is an umbel measuring 15–30 cm in diameter, consisting of 20–150 flowers. It is situated on a leafless peduncle, the height of which varies from 50 cm to 1.4 m depending on varietal characteristics.

In the reference 45 varieties crop Lily of the Nile, where this is mentioned in the description.

Morphological evaluation of the Agapanthus inflorescence includes determining its shape, density, flower count, and linear dimensions. During variety testing, observations are conducted at the stage when 50% of the flowers have opened, which allows for the standardization of indicators for comparison with reference specimens.

The economic significance of inflorescence parameters is determined by its ornamental quality and suitability for cut flowers. The density of flower arrangement and the strength of the peduncle are critical factors in variety selection, influencing both aesthetic value in landscape design and the necessity for agrotechnical support in the form of stakes.
