Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Antirrhinum plant named ‘Sant218A’, characterized by its outwardly spreading, trailing and low mounded plant habit; freely branching habit; dense and bushy growth habit; freely flowering habit; and flowers that are white in color.

Description

Botanical classification/cultivar designation: Antirrhinum×hybrida cultivar Sant218A.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Antirrhinum plant, commercially known as a trailing Snapdragon, botanically known as Antirrhinum hybrida, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name Sant218A.
The new Antirrhinum is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Alphen aan den Rijn, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program is to create new freely flowering Antirrhinums with trailing and mounded plant habit, vigorous growth habit, large flowers and attractive leaf and flower coloration.
The new Antirrhinum originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in 1999 in Ter Aar, The Netherlands, of an unnamed selection of Antirrhinum hybrida, not patented, as the female, or seed parent, with an unnamed selection of Antirrhinum hybrida, not patented, as the male, or pollen parent. The new Antirrhinum was discovered and selected as a single plant from the resulting progeny of the cross-pollination in a controlled environment in Stavenisse, The Netherlands in 2001.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal vegetative cuttings since 2001, in Ter Aar, The Netherlands has shown that the unique features of this new Antirrhinum are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the cultivar Sant218A have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity and daylength without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Sant218A’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Sant218A’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
    • 1. Outwardly spreading, trailing and low mounded plant habit.
    • 2. Freely branching habit; dense and bushy growth habit.
    • 3. Freely flowering habit.
    • 4. Flowers that are white in color.
Plants of the new Antirrhinum differ from the parental selections primarily in plant size and vigor.
Plants of the new Antirrhinum can be compared to plants of the cultivar Balumwhitim, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 14,711. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Encinitas, Calif., plants of the new Antirrhinum differed primarily from plants of the cultivar Balumwhitim in flower size as plants of the cultivar Balumwhitim had smaller flowers.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new cultivar, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Antirrhinum.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of typical plants of ‘Sant218A’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet is a close-up view of typical flowers and leaves of ‘Sant218A’.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
Plants of the cultivar Sant218A have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature and light intensity, without, however, any variance in genotype.
The aforementioned photographs and following observations and measurements describe plants grown in Encinitas, Calif., under commercial practice in a polyethylene-covered greenhouse during the winter and spring with day temperatures about 24° C., night temperatures about 18° C. and light levels about 4,000 foot-candles. Plants used for the photographs and description were about 16 weeks from planting rooted cuttings in one-gallon containers with five plants per container. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 1995 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
