Variety traits

Lophospermum plant height

Lophospermum scandens D. Don

The trait characterizes the length of the shoots of this trailing-climbing plant, determining the cultivation techniques and methods for vertical or container gardening.

In the reference 6 varieties crop Creeping gloxinia, where this is mentioned in the description.

For Lophospermum, the concept of plant height is equivalent to the length of its shoots or vines, measured from the base of the stem to the tip of the longest growth. In classic species forms, shoot length reaches 3 meters, whereas specialized compact varieties, such as the Lofos Compact series, are limited in growth to 60 cm.

The trait directly influences the choice of agrotechnical practices: tall vines require the installation of supports, while compact forms are suitable for hanging baskets. Growth regulation is achieved through pinching the tips and controlling light levels, as a lack of light leads to excessive stretching of internodes and a loss of ornamental value.
