Bobo® Hydrangea
Bobo® Hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata ‘ILVOBO’) is a delightful dwarf hydrangea known for its prolific blooms and compact size, making it perfect for any garden space. From midsummer through fall, this hydrangea is covered in abundant, cone-shaped clusters of white flowers that gradually turn a soft blush pink as the season progresses. The sturdy stems of Bobo® Hydrangea ensure that the blooms remain upright, creating a beautiful and consistent display without drooping. With its height of only 2.5 to 3 feet and a similar spread, Bobo® is ideal for smaller garden beds, foundation plantings, or even as a container-grown plant for patios and decks.
Thriving in USDA hardiness zones 3 through 8, Bobo® Hydrangea is incredibly cold-hardy and versatile. It performs best in full sun to partial shade, ensuring the most vibrant and plentiful blooms. Bobo® adapts well to various soil types as long as it is well-drained and kept consistently moist. Its reliable, showy blooms make it an excellent choice for creating colorful borders, brightening shaded areas, or enhancing mixed perennial beds. Because of its manageable size and prolific flowering, Bobo® Hydrangea also works well in mass plantings, creating a blanket of color that adds a touch of elegance to the landscape.
Low maintenance and easy to care for, Bobo® Hydrangea only requires minimal pruning to maintain its shape and encourage new growth. Pruning should be done in late winter or early spring, as it blooms on new wood, ensuring a fresh batch of flowers each year. Adding a layer of mulch around the base of the plant helps retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and protect the roots. Whether you are a seasoned gardener or a beginner, Bobo® Hydrangea offers impressive, long-lasting blooms and vibrant beauty, making it an outstanding choice for any garden or landscape.
