Hydrangea Bobo® Panicle Hydrangea

Gold Florall award in 2010

Transform your garden space with the compact elegance of the Bobo® Hydrangea. This dwarf variety of Hydrangea paniculata is a treasure for any space, especially smaller gardens, with its manageable size of 2½ to 3 feet in height and 3 to 4 feet in width. Adorned with lavish white flowers that gracefully turn pink as the season progresses, Bobo transforms into a breathtaking display of blooms each summer. These flower colors emerge so profusely that the foliage becomes almost hidden beneath a canopy of white.

From the warmth of midsummer to the cool beginnings of fall, the Bobo Hydrangea showcases increasingly voluminous and fuller flower buds, ensuring a spectacular show even after the toughest winters. This hardy plant thrives on new wood, guaranteeing a consistent display of hydrangea blooms year after year. Its ability to bloom under various conditions—regardless of climate, soil type, pH, or pruning practices—and even its drought tolerance , highlights its robust nature.

Selected as a Proven Winners® ColorChoice® Shrub, Bobo Hydrangea has undergone rigorous testing in trial gardens worldwide. Its exceptional health, vigor, and beauty set it apart as a superior garden performer. This dwarf hydrangea thrives in full sun to part shade conditions and is versatile enough to adapt to multiple soil types. However, it shows a preference for well-drained, loamy soil and requires consistent moisture for optimal growth.

Ideal for mixed borders, foundation plantings, or as an eye-catching container plant, the Bobo Hydrangea's compact size and stunning flower display make it a standout addition to any landscape. The plant's root system is designed for efficient water and nutrient uptake, ensuring robust growth and beautiful blooms. To maintain its shape and encourage flourishing flower colors, prune in late winter. A slow-release fertilizer formulated for trees and shrubs, applied in early spring, will support its health and vigor throughout the growing season. Additionally, its resistance to common issues like leaf spot makes it an even more desirable choice for gardeners seeking beauty and reliability.

Embrace the charm and resilience of the Bobo Hydrangea in your garden and enjoy a season-long display of magnificent white flowers that transition to a soft pink, enriching your outdoor space with vibrant colors and life.

Under the right fall conditions, some panicle hydrangeas can blush pink or red. The magic happens when cool nights meet the right genetic traits. In warmer zones, the color may stay closer to white, but the effect is gorgeous either way.
