Plant Height — Scented-leaved Pelargonium
Pelargonium graveolens L'Hér.
An important morphological trait of scented-leaved Pelargonium, which determines its productivity and the volume of accumulated green mass. Plant height is measured in centimeters from the soil surface to the top of the plant.
In the reference 5 varieties crop Rose geranium, where this is mentioned in the description.
For scented-leaved Pelargonium, plant height is a key indicator of the growth and development of the perennial plant. Depending on the growing conditions and the age of the crop, the shrub can reach sizes from 70 cm to 1.5 m. This parameter is usually recorded at the end of the growing season before the harvest of green mass.
Plant height directly affects crop yield and the volume of essential oil output. Growth of the bush is regulated both by mineral nutrition, particularly the application of nitrogen fertilizers, and by agrotechnical practices, such as pinching the shoot tips, which reduces overall height but stimulates branching and crown formation.
