Hydrangea Bobo

Bobo® Hardy Hydrangea

Bobo Hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata ‘Bobo’) is a charming dwarf panicle hydrangea valued for its compact, well-proportioned form and abundant summer blooms. Unlike larger panicle varieties, Bobo grows only 3–4 feet tall and wide, making it perfect for small gardens, borders, or container plantings. The flowers emerge creamy white in midsummer and gradually take on a soft pink hue as they mature, creating an elegant, seasonal color transition. Its tidy, rounded habit and dense foliage provide year-round structure and visual appeal in a variety of landscape settings.

This hydrangea is appreciated not only for its size and beauty but also for its low-maintenance care. Its strong stems support the flower heads without flopping, reducing the need for staking, while its adaptability to different soils and climates makes it a reliable performer. Bobo Hydrangea thrives in full sun to part shade, delivering consistent blooms even in smaller spaces where larger hydrangeas might overwhelm. With its combination of compact stature, delicate seasonal color, and dependable flowering, Bobo Hydrangea is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking a long-lasting, elegant, and manageable flowering shrub.
