Gerbera Inflorescence

Gerbera L.

The gerbera inflorescence is a capitulum consisting of peripheral ray florets and central disc florets. It is the primary ornamental organ evaluated by diameter, degree of doubling, petal shape, and productivity per plant.

In the reference 155 varieties crop Gerbera, where this is mentioned in the description.

The diameter of the gerbera inflorescence varies from 4 to 15 cm, with forms having a diameter of 10–13 cm considered large-flowered. The inflorescence type is classified according to the degree of doubling and petal width, which, in combination with plant productivity, determines its commercial group and market value.

Gerbera breeding takes into account the heritability of inflorescence size and floret density, as well as the essential requirement for a strong peduncle capable of supporting the weight of the capitulum. Inflorescence characteristics determine agrotechnical requirements, including planting density and transport methods to maintain the integrity of the ornamental organs.
