Growing unique hydrangea species could create niche market for gardeners.

Winston Dunwell, University of Kentucky Extension horticulture specialist, said the original intent of the work was to look at hydrangeas as a cut flower for growers to diversify.

The research was looking at the more established pinks and blues along with whites or H. paniculata types. Most of the pinks and blues planted in Oct. 1996 did not survive, but the whites were more hardy in western Kentucky. Pink and blue plantings at the research center in Quicksand had a better survival rate.
