Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Italian, Swiss with a touch of German (sounds like a yummy dish). Perhaps named for the Ticino River or the mountainous Swiss Canton bordering Italy, we love our quaint Ticino hydrangea. It is probably one of the favorite container hydrangeas in our collection. This dwarf still performs like its larger cousins with vigorous growth and colorful pink, purple or blue blooms. Bred in 1969 by the Friesdorf Research Station in Germany, this is a great collector's hydrangea. (You really need to lookup Ticino! It is now on my list of places to visit when I grow up!)
