Aster plant height

Aster L.

Aster plant height is a key morphological indicator that determines cultivar classification, their landscape application, and planting technology. Measurements are taken in centimeters during the period of peak flowering.

In the reference 10 varieties crop Aster, where this is mentioned in the description.

In aster cultivar testing, the following classification is adopted: dwarf cultivars reach 20–25 cm, low-growing — 20–40 cm, medium-growing — 45–60 cm, tall — 65–80 cm, and giant cultivars exceed 80–100 cm. This trait allows for the categorization of cultivars into border, universal, and cut flower types for floral arrangements.

Plant height directly influences the seedling planting scheme: from 20 cm between plants for low-growing cultivars up to 40 cm for tall ones. In breeding, this indicator is evaluated in conjunction with peduncle strength, as taller forms are more prone to lodging, which requires particular attention to stem stability.
