Plant height — Verbena × hybrida

Glandularia x hybrida (hort. ex Groenl. & Rümpler) G. L. Nesom & Pruski

An important morphological indicator of Verbena × hybrida, varying from 15 to 60 cm depending on the cultivar type and influencing the choice of landscape application.

In the reference 6 varieties crop Common Garden Verbena, where this is mentioned in the description.

For Verbena × hybrida, the typical height range is 20–50 cm, with dwarf forms reaching 15–30 cm and tall forms 45–60 cm. The trait is measured as the distance from the soil surface to the highest point of the shoots or inflorescences at the full development stage.

Height determines the purpose of the cultivar: low forms are used for borders and the foreground of flower beds, while tall and trailing forms are used for containers and vertical landscaping. The genetically determined habit can be modified by agrotechnics: an excess of nitrogen and moisture causes shoot elongation, while a lack of light causes lodging.
