Bobo Hardy Hydrangea

Hydrangea paniculata 'ILVOBO' ; ‘Bobo’

A compact powerhouse packed with blooms, Bobo® Hydrangea produces massive cone-shaped white flowers that nearly cover the entire plant from summer into fall. Held upright on strong stems, the blooms continue to lengthen as they mature and gradually age to soft pink for extended seasonal interest. Its dwarf size and nonstop flowering make it a standout choice for borders, foundation plantings, containers, and mass plantings.

Easy to grow and exceptionally reliable, Bobo® blooms on new wood, meaning it flowers consistently regardless of winter temperatures or pruning. Developed by Proven Winners®, this hardy panicle hydrangea is prized for its heavy blooming, compact habit, and strong stems that resist flopping.
