Plant height — Garden chrysanthemum

Chrysanthemum x morifolium Ramat.

An important morphological trait of garden chrysanthemum, measured from the soil surface to the inflorescence at the flowering stage. The value of this parameter determines the variety's classification by height and the selection of cultivation technology for potted plants, cut flowers, or landscap…

In the reference 82 varieties crop Florist's daisy, where this is mentioned in the description.

During variety evaluation and tests for distinctness, uniformity, and stability, plant height is defined as the distance from the soil level to the point of attachment of the flower head or the apex of the generative shoot. Measurements are taken on a sample of plants at the stage of maximum development, taking into account cultivation conditions, including the use of plant growth retardants and bush-shaping techniques.

Depending on their height, varieties are categorized as dwarf (25–45 cm), medium-height (45–75 cm), and tall (up to 150 cm). For globular Multiflora chrysanthemums, this parameter is closely related to the bush diameter. For tall cut-flower varieties, height is a key quality indicator that requires the use of support netting to prevent the lodging of flower stalks.
