HP.A5.2 Number of Buds

general - number of buds

The number of buds can be an indication of the potential growth of herbaceous plants, particularly in the first year. This may be significant in the specification of open ground herbaceous plants supplied as clumps (e.g. Hosta spp., Paeonia spp.)

For typical clumps which are supplied, 2, 3 or 4 buds might be expected.
