Petunia Plant Height

Petunia Juss.

A key biometric characteristic that determines the ornamental quality and landscape application of the plant, measured in centimeters during the period of mass flowering.

In the reference 85 varieties crop Petunia, where this is mentioned in the description.

The height range of petunias varies from compact forms (10–30 cm), suitable for borders and containers, to tall varieties reaching 60–120 cm. When evaluating this trait, not only the height of the central part of the plant is taken into account but also the length of the shoots, which is especially important for trailing and cascading varieties.

The expression of this trait depends on the genetic characteristics of the cultivar, light regime, and agricultural practices. Insufficient lighting leads to undesirable stretching of shoots, and the plant's growth habit determines the necessity of pinching to maintain a compact architecture and the plant's resistance to adverse weather conditions.
