Plant Height — Cineraria, florist's cineraria

Pericallis x hybrida (Scheidw.) B. Nord.

A trait defining the plant habit and suitability for pot production, measured from the substrate surface to the top of the inflorescences at commercial maturity.

In the reference 8 varieties crop Cineraria, where this is mentioned in the description.

Commercial pot hybrids of Pericallis x hybrida are characterized by compact heights of 25–30 cm, which ensures plant stability and the ornamental appeal of the floral "cap." In broader botanical forms, the height can vary from 30 to 90 cm.

This trait directly influences the production process: compact varieties allow for higher planting density in 10–14 cm pots. Height control is implemented to prevent plant stretching and to maintain marketability, as excessively tall plants with underdeveloped peduncles lose their ornamental value.
