Variety traits
Astilbe Buch.-Ham. ex D. Don
Astilbe inflorescences are complex panicles classified by shape into pyramidal, rhombic, paniculate, and drooping types, and also evaluated by density and phenological traits.
In the reference 34 varieties crop False goat's beard, where this is mentioned in the description.
In botanical and cultivar testing descriptions of Astilbe, four main inflorescence shapes are distinguished: pyramidal, rhombic, paniculate, and drooping. Inflorescence density varies from compact to loose, which is an important decorative and agrotechnical indicator affecting the plant's resistance to excessive moisture.
Phenological assessment includes the start dates and duration of flowering, classified on a scale from very short (up to 14 days) to very long (more than 32 days). During cultivation, the density and type of inflorescence determine the selection of sites in landscape compositions, as well as maintenance protocols, including the need to remove spent inflorescences to redirect resources toward root system development.
