The present invention relates to ornamental plants displaying compacted growth or having the phenotype compacted plant growth. The present invention further relates to methods for providing plants displaying compacted plant growth and to the use of inbreeding, such as by selfing, to obtain ornamental plants with compacted plant growth. Specifically, the present invention relates to ornamental plants displaying compacted plant growth without use of plant growth regulators during cultivation； - said ornamental plant displaying compacted plant growth without use of plant growth regulators during cultivation is vegetatively propagated from a first ornamental plant displaying compacted plant growth without use of plant growth regulators during cultivation said first ornamental plant is obtainable by inbred breeding of at least 2 generations of a second ornamental plant not displaying compacted plant growth without use of plant growth regulators during cultivation； and - said ornamental plant is selected from plants belonging to a family selected from the group consisting of Liliaceae, Araceae, Solanaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Geraniaceae, Asteraceae, Orchidaceae, Rosaceae, Caryophyllaceae and Crassulaceae. - said ornamental plant has a heterozygosity percentage being decreased by at least 20% as compared to the heterozygosity percentage of said second ornamental plant not displaying compacted plant growth without use of plant growth regulators during cultivation.
