Variety traits
Torenia inflorescence
Torenia L.
In Torenia, flowers are formed predominantly singly or in pairs in the leaf axils, which determines the ornamental value and habit of the plant.
In the reference 6 varieties crop Bluewings, where this is mentioned in the description.
In Torenia breeding, a key parameter for describing the inflorescence is the type of flower arrangement in the leaf axils. Flowers can be arranged singly or in clusters, while the presence of a flower in a specific axil, the number of flowers per cluster (usually from 2 to 5), and the length of the pedicels are recorded.
The morphological characteristics of the inflorescence directly influence the aesthetic appearance and habit of the plant. Varieties with long pedicels are characterized by flowers that rise above the foliage, which is particularly important when using the crop in container gardening. To ensure maximum flowering intensity, pinching is required during early developmental phases, which promotes an increase in the number of axils bearing inflorescences.
