Variety traits
Inflorescence — Hibiscus syriacus
Hibiscus syriacus L.
Hibiscus syriacus does not form inflorescences in the botanical sense, developing solitary flowers. The assessment of the crop's ornamental value is based on the parameters of the individual flower, its doubleness, and the plant's ability to self-clean from spent petals.
In the reference 3 varieties crop Rose of Sharon, where this is mentioned in the description.
For Hibiscus syriacus, the term 'inflorescence' is not applicable, as a specific trait of the plant is the development of solitary flowers. In breeding and variety testing, the qualitative indicators of the flower itself are of key importance, such as diameter, type (single or double), and its degree of resistance to adverse weather factors, including sun bleaching and deformation under high temperatures.
The most important economic and biological trait is self-cleaning, which determines the ability of spent petals to fall off independently, allowing the shrub to maintain its ornamental appearance without manual maintenance. The doubleness of varieties is assessed on a point scale, taking into account the number of petal rows and the presence of petaloids. The value of a variety is determined by its flowering potential: the plant's ability to ensure the continuous emergence of new buds over a long period from July to October.
