Sumario:Germoplasm from nineteen accessions was characterized under greenhouse conditions during the end of winter at the Universidad Católica de Córdoba, Argentina. Plant habit varied, especially in G. glandulifera with erect and semierect plants and G. peruviana with semierect and decumbent plants. One hundred days after transplanting rooted cuttings, G. glandulifera covered more than 90% of the pot size, G. platensis 50%, and G. peruviana presented an intermediate value (75%). G. peruviana had the largest inflorescence and corolla diameter. G. glandulifera flower color changed as flowers aged. Flowers/pot and branch number/pot was greatest in G. glandulifera (0.7). Genotypes suitable for breeding pot plants were selected based on criteria elaborated on in this paper.
