From the source "Encyclopedia of Hydrangeas" C.J. and D.M. Van Gelderen (2004 - Timber Press):

A compact low-gowing plant with sturdy, short branches. Flowerheads are relatively small with ray-flowers that are light pink with almost white, serrate sepals. Good as a pot plant and for forcing, but is too tender for outdoor cultivation. Mucke means "mosquito." Synonym 'Shower'.
