WF4.2 Number of Buds

general - number of buds

The number of buds is an indication of the potential growth of herbaceous wildflowers, particularly in the first year. This may be significant in the specification of open ground herbaceous plants supplied as clumps (e.g. Iris pseudacorus)

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

For all plug and most pot grown wildflowers the number of buds is insignificant.
