Inflorescence of Buddleja davidii
Buddleja davidii Franch.
The inflorescence of Buddleja davidii is a spike-like panicle, with a length ranging from 20 to 40 cm. This is a key ornamental trait evaluated by experts based on flowering intensity, shape, and color.
In the reference 45 varieties crop Butterfly bush, where this is mentioned in the description.
Quantitative and qualitative indicators of inflorescences are used to characterize Buddleja davidii cultivars. The length of inflorescences, often referred to as "candles," is typically 25–40 cm, while values of about 20 cm or less are characteristic of compact forms. Flowering abundance and visual quality are assessed using an expert scale from 1 to 9.
Inflorescence development is closely linked to agronomic practices: heavy spring pruning of the current year's shoots stimulates the formation of larger inflorescences. The level of mineral nutrition, especially phosphorus-potassium components, influences the number of inflorescences and the intensity of their color, which is important for attracting pollinating insects.
