If you mean just flower color, then you are speaking about one trait. He was trying to see which color was dominate or recessive. The same was true for height. If he did this for two (flower color and height) he was looking at combined traits. He wanted to know how these traits were inherited and what patterns they followed. He studied seven traits that seemed to be inherited separately. His work lead to the Laws of Inheritance.
When a first generation plant self pollinates, the ratio of dominant to recessive traits in the second generation plants is typically 3:1. This is based on Mendel's principle of segregation, which predicts that in a monohybrid cross, three plants will exhibit the dominant trait and one will exhibit the recessive trait.
Yes, by crossbreeding two plants with desired traits, a new plant can be produced with a combination of characteristics from the parent plants. This new plant may exhibit a mix of traits or potentially new traits not seen in the parent plants.
Mendel crossed true-breeding pea plants with contrasting traits in his first generation experiments. Specifically, he crossed a true-breeding purple-flowered plant with a true-breeding white-flowered plant.
Gregor Mendel was testing peas to study patterns of inheritance and the passing of traits from one generation to another. He wanted to understand how different traits were inherited and whether they followed predictable patterns.
Mendel's experiment showed that with other traits it showed a similar pattern and also that it resulted that this crossed the first generation. The dwarf height traits had seemed to disappear. He then let the first generation plants self pollinate.

Inheritance patterns for plants can vary depending on the type of plant. In general, plants can exhibit different patterns of inheritance such as dominant, recessive, codominant, or incomplete dominance. These patterns determine how traits are passed down from one generation to the next.

Three inherited traits of plants are leaf shape, flower color, and seed size. These traits are passed down through the plant's genetic material from one generation to the next. They play a key role in determining the plant's appearance and reproductive success.

He used the pea plant Pisum sativum.
