Inflorescence of Verbena hybrida
Glandularia x hybrida (hort. ex Groenl. & Rümpler) G. L. Nesom & Pruski
Verbena hybrida produces corymbose inflorescences consisting of 30–50 small flowers. The inflorescence diameter is an important ornamental indicator, ranging from 1.5–2 cm in compact forms to 10 cm in trailing varieties.
In the reference 14 varieties crop Common Garden Verbena, where this is mentioned in the description.
The inflorescence type of Verbena hybrida is classified as a corymb, sometimes described as a corymbose spike. The density of the flower head is ensured by a large number of flowers, with a total count per inflorescence ranging from 30 to 50.
Inflorescence size is a key varietal trait used in cultivar testing protocols to evaluate ornamental value. Depending on the breeding group, whether compact or trailing forms, the inflorescence diameter can vary significantly, ranging from 1.5 to 10 centimeters.
To maintain ornamental quality and stimulate the formation of new flower stalks, regular deadheading of spent inflorescences is practiced. This agrotechnical technique promotes active branching of the plant and extends the flowering period until the onset of frost.
