Hines Horticulture has joined with the Curing Children?EUR??,,????'?????<???EUR?s Cancer Fund to assist children fighting cancer by donating proceeds from a hybrid hydrangea called ?EUR??,,????'?????<?The Big Smile.?EUR??,,????'?????<? The funds raised will help children undergoing treatment for cancer and serious blood disorders.
The Curing Children?EUR??,,????'?????<???EUR?s Cancer Fund is a non-profit organization dedicated to eliminating childhood cancer. All contributions to the fund support cutting edge research by some of the world?EUR??,,????'?????<???EUR?s most knowledgeable and promising physicians and scientists.
?EUR??,,????'?????<?Hines is determined to help find a cure for pediatric cancer and to bring hope to the children and families it affects,?EUR??,,????'?????<? said Tom Doll of Hines Horticulture. ?EUR??,,????'?????<?The foundation of gardening is about promoting life and growth, which is just what we intend to do for the children we are helping.?EUR??,,????'?????<? Survival rates for children with cancer have increased dramatically since the late 1970s, however the incidence of childhood cancer has also steadily increased since that time. Cancer still remains the number one cause of non-accidental death in children.
?EUR??,,????'?????<?Almost one out of every three children with cancer will not survive,?EUR??,,????'?????<? said David G. Poplack, M.D. director of Texas Children?EUR??,,????'?????<???EUR?s Cancer Center and one of the founders of the Curing Children?EUR??,,????'?????<???EUR?s Cancer Fund. ?EUR??,,????'?????<?We are grateful for Hines?EUR??,,????'?????<???EUR? involvement and hopeful that together we can raise funds for research into a cure for children with one of the most devastating of all diseases.?EUR??,,????'?????<?
The Big Smile hydrangea is a new cultivar that offers dark stems and glossy foliage in the spring, lacecap flowers that open a soft pink and mature to a rich burgundy rose through the summer, deep merlot foliage in the fall and red stems and veins beginning in the spring. The enhanced hardiness of the plant makes it a good choice for gardeners in zones 5 and 6. A compact mounded habit grows up to 3 feet tall and wide with high mildew resistance, and sturdy stems that help keep the heavy flowers upright on the plant.
Hines sells nursery products primarily to the retail segment, which includes premium independent garden centers as well as leading home centers and mass merchandisers.
