Trailing habit — Petunia × hybrida

Petunia x atkinsiana D. Don

This trait characterizes the plant habit and the ability to form long lateral shoots. It is measured by the actual shoot length, which in trailing forms ranges from 80 cm to 1.5 meters.

In the reference 6 varieties crop Garden petunia, where this is mentioned in the description.

The trailing habit of Petunia × hybrida is defined as the plant's ability to form elongated lateral shoots, which serves as a key criterion for classifying varieties into bushy and trailing types. Evaluation of the trait is carried out by linear measurement of the shoot length from the base to the apex, with values ranging from short, compact forms to cascading shoots up to 1.5 meters long.

This trait directly dictates the requirements for agrotechnics and use in landscaping. Varieties with a high degree of trailing require increased substrate volumes, frequent watering, and intensive nutrition, as well as formative pruning to maintain aesthetic appeal and stimulate branching in hanging structures.
