Variety traits
Inflorescence — Dianthus allwoodii
Dianthus x allwoodii hort.
Dianthus allwoodii is characterized primarily by solitary flowers on the stem or their formation in pairs. This distinguishes the species from groups of carnations prone to forming multiflorous or capitate inflorescences.
In the reference 8 varieties crop Allwood pink, where this is mentioned in the description.
Dianthus allwoodii, being a hybrid of Dianthus plumarius and Dianthus caryophyllus, is represented in its morphological description most often by solitary flowers or groups of two flowers per stem. This trait is a characteristic specific distinction, as the formation of complex inflorescences is not typical for most varieties of this crop.
Within the framework of variety trials and DUS testing for this hybrid, inflorescence parameters are not of determining significance, unlike species prone to being multiflorous. In agronomic practice, when cultivating Dianthus allwoodii, the main focus is placed not on the structure of the inflorescence, but on the overall flowering intensity and agrotechnical measures to remove spent elements to prolong the decorative period.
