After evaluating many of the crosses, the team identified
candidates that held the attributes that Bailey liked.
" Those plants were initially planted in our trial garden
in Minnesota for further evaluation. Before we moved
into production trials, we used the in-ground experience
to evaluate another major
improvement opportunity
with smooth hydrangeas:
weak stems. If any of these
initial cultivars couldn't
stand up to heavy wind or
rain, it was removed from
the evaluation process.

sea of hydrangeas. "
In the second year,
FlowerFull was strong
with bountiful blooms
compared to 'Annabelle'
in the field. In year four,
FlowerFull continued to
stand out amongst other
cultivars, with strong,
tall stems that handled heavy winds and rains well. The
foliage " stayed clean " during the hot, humid Minnesota
summers, Charais explained.
