Positive lmelling On Dec 1, 2004, lmelling from Ithaca, NY (Zone 5b) wrote:

From the "Encyclopedia of Hydrangeas," (Van Gelderen -2004), " a dwarf shrub up to 32 inches. It is free-flowering, dark pink, easily grown as a blue or violet mophead. Flowering time is from June to August. This culitvar is tender. Suitable as a pot plant. Similar to 'Kristel'. Bred by E. Haller, Switzerland, in 1971. Named for the city in northern Switzerland where the Haller Nursery was situated."

No hardiness zone given but noted as "tender."
