Hydrangea macrophylla 'Blaumeise' is commonly sold under many different names: Tellers Blue, Blue Tit, Blue Titmouse, & Blue Sky. ‘Blaumeise’ is part of the Teller Series (Switzerland breeding program that started in 1952) of 26 hybrid lacecap (teller means plate in German) hydrangeas that were named after European birds. Note that Blaumeise translates to blue titmouse. Probably the most hardy of the Tellers, but it needs protection from late frosts. It’s a tall (4-6’) plant with strong stems. And, it’s blue or pink depending on the soil pH and aluminum content.
