Variety traits
Lobelia erinus L.
A trait determining the habit of Lobelia erinus varieties, ranging from 8 to 40 cm depending on the cultivar group, which dictates the choice of agrotechnical practices and its use in landscaping.
In the reference 20 varieties crop Edging lobelia, where this is mentioned in the description.
Within the varietal classification of Lobelia erinus, dwarf forms (8–12 cm), compact (10–20 cm), erect (20–25 cm), spreading (about 15 cm), and trailing forms, where the length of pendulous shoots reaches 30–40 cm, are distinguished. Measurements are taken during the mass flowering phase to record the typical habit.
Plant height is a dynamic parameter sensitive to environmental conditions. Excess nitrogen nutrition, waterlogging, and low light intensity provoke internode elongation, which leads to a loss of compactness and the sprawling of the plant. To develop a dense structure and control the habit, pinching of the seedling tips is applied once they reach a height of 2.5 cm.
