Trailing habit in Pelargonium

Pelargonium L'Hér. ex Ait.

The trailing habit in Pelargonium is a genetically determined characteristic of the plant's habit, characterized by a tendency for the shoots to exhibit pendulous or prostrate growth.

In the reference 20 varieties crop Geranium, where this is mentioned in the description.

This trait is most characteristic of ivy-leaved pelargonium and a number of interspecific hybrids. It is classified as a qualitative indicator of growth type, which is contrasted with the upright form and is recorded during variety testing by comparison with reference samples.

The expression of the trailing habit is determined by the length and flexibility of the stems, with trailing stems ranging from 30 to 100 cm indicating an ampelous form suitable for hanging structures. Trailing forms often exhibit the varietal trait of self-cleaning of spent inflorescences, which is taken into account in agrotechnics and plant care.
