Variety traits
Abundance and Duration of Flowering — Petunia × hybrida
Petunia x atkinsiana D. Don
Key criteria for the ornamental quality of Petunia × hybrida, assessed by flower density on the plant and the time interval from the onset of flowering to the end of the vegetative stage.
In the reference 6 varieties crop Garden petunia, where this is mentioned in the description.
The abundance of flowering in Petunia × hybrida is measured by counting the flowers on the plant or by visual scoring of the bush coverage density. The duration of flowering is determined by recording phenological phases from the onset of active flowering to the end of the decorative period; modern variety groups Multiflora and Milliflora demonstrate the longest flowering period, lasting until the first hard frosts.
The high sensitivity of large-flowered forms in the Grandiflora group to weather stresses, such as wind and rain, can lead to a decrease in overall flowering duration. Maintaining stable abundance in these varieties requires specific agricultural practices, including pinching to stimulate branching, regular removal of spent inflorescences to prevent seed pod formation, and the provision of intensive mineral nutrition.
