Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Hydrangea plant named ‘H218922’, characterized by its upright and uniformly mounded plant habit; vigorous growth habit and rapid growth rate; freely branching habit with strong, thick and sturdy stems; freely and uniformly flowering habit; mophead-type inflorescences with numerous dark red purple-colored sterile flowers; and good postproduction longevity.

Description

Botanical designation: Hydrangea macrophylla.
Cultivar denomination: ‘H218922’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Hydrangea plant, botanically known as Hydrangea macrophylla, commercially referred to as a mophead-type Hydrangea and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘H218922’.
The new Hydrangea plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in De Kwakel, The Netherlands and Lengerich, Germany. The objective of the breeding program was to create new strong and freely-branching Hydrangea plants with strong sturdy stems, uniform flowering habit, large inflorescences with numerous showy sterile flowers, attractive sterile flower color and good postproduction longevity.
The new Hydrangea plant originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in March, 2013 in De Kwakel, The Netherlands, of Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Paris Rapa’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,906, as the female, or seed, parent with Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Dark Angel’, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Hydrangea plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant from within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled greenhouse environment in Lengerich, Germany in March, 2014.
Asexual reproduction of the new Hydrangea plant by vegetative tip cuttings in a controlled environment in De Kwakel, The Netherlands since April, 2015 has shown that the unique features of this new Hydrangea plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Hydrangea have not been observed under all possible combinations of environmental conditions and cultural practices. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environmental conditions such as temperature and light intensity without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘H218922’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘H218922’ as a new and distinct Hydrangea plant:
    • 1. Upright and uniformly mounded plant habit.
    • 2. Vigorous growth habit and rapid growth rate.
    • 3. Freely branching habit with strong, thick and sturdy stems.
    • 4. Freely and uniformly flowering habit.
    • 5. Mophead-type inflorescences with numerous dark red purple-colored sterile flowers.
    • 6. Good postproduction longevity.
Plants of the new Hydrangea can be compared to plants of the female parent, ‘Paris Rapa’. Plants of the new Hydrangea differ primarily from plants of ‘Paris Rapa’ in sterile flower color as plants of the new Hydrangea have dark red purple-colored sterile flowers whereas plants of ‘Paris Rapa’ have dark red-colored sterile flowers.
Plants of the new Hydrangea can be compared to plants of the male parent, ‘Dark Angel’. Plants of the new Hydrangea differ primarily from plants of ‘Dark Angel’ in branching habit as plants of the new Hydrangea are more freely branching than plants of ‘Dark Angel’.
Plants of the new Hydrangea can be compared to plants of the Hydrangea macrophylla ‘HBA215910’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 29,171. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Hydrangea differ primarily from plants of ‘HBA215910’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Hydrangea are more vigorous and broader than plants of ‘HBA215910’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Hydrangea are more freely branching than plants of ‘HBA215910’.
    • 3. Plants of the new Hydrangea have taller panicles than plants of ‘HBA215910’.
    • 4. Plants of the new Hydrangea have dark red purple-colored sterile flowers whereas plants of ‘HBA215910’ have dark red purple-colored sterile flowers with green-colored sectors.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the unique appearance of the new Hydrangea plant showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photographs may differ from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Hydrangea plant.
The photograph on the first sheet is a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘H218922’.
The photograph on the second sheet is a close-up view of a typical inflorescence of ‘H218922’.
The photograph on the third sheet is a top perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘H218922’ that has been “blued” (left) that is, treated with aluminum sulfate, and a top perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘H218922’ that has not been “blued” (right) that is, not treated with aluminum sulfate.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
Plants used in the aforementioned photographs and in the following description were grown during the late spring and early summer in 13-cm containers in a glass-covered greenhouse in De Kwakel, The Netherlands and under cultural practices typical of commercial Hydrangea production. During the production of the plants, day and night temperatures averaged 17° C. Plants of the new Hydrangea were one year old when the photographs and description were taken. Plants of the new Hydrangea can be successfully treated with aluminum sulfate to “blue” the inflorescences.
