Vigor — Petunia x hybrida

Petunia x hybrida hort. ex E. Vilm.

Petunia vigor is the genetically determined potential for vegetative mass development intensity and shoot growth rate. Assessment of this trait is based on habit formation dynamics, branching intensity, and the plant's ability to recover after pinching.

In the reference 7 varieties crop Garden petunia, where this is mentioned in the description.

Vigor assessment in Petunia x hybrida is descriptive and based on comparing cultivars by morphological parameters. High vigor is typical for trailing and cascading series capable of forming long shoots, whereas low vigor characterizes compact bush forms.

This trait directly determines cultivation practices, including the required substrate volume, frequency of fertilization, and pruning intensity. High-vigor cultivars are characterized by an intensive metabolism, which requires high nutrient levels and regular trimming to maintain aesthetic quality.
