Neutral	berrygirl	On Mar 24, 2007, berrygirl from Braselton, GA (Zone 7b) wrote: Plant Patent#10,906. Cultivar name: 'Paris Rapa.' The most mildew-resistant of the renowned Cityline™ series of Bigleaf Hydrangeas from Germany, Paris™ offers deep red blooms held upright on strong stems on shrubs that are naturally less than 3 feet high. ideal for containers, the front of the shrub border, or small spaces, this is a versatile, vigorous shrub that needs little attention from you to grow and flower its best for many years. Paris™ offers flowers of richest red, vibrant in border or container, and somewhat unusual shade for Hydrangea. As they mature they turn green, and are well suited for fresh or dried indoor arrangements. Paris™ makes a good companion to the other Cityline™ Hydrangeas available this season: clear pink Berlin and fuchsia-tined Venice. These shrubs thrive in full sun in northern climates, afternoon shade farther south. They begin blooming in midsummer and continue until autumn, for a huge show of color in a very small space. Zones 5-9.
