Bobo® Hydrangea Bush

Don't let the size fool you, Bobo® Hydrangea may be small enough for container growing but it packs a big punch with its abundant large, lacy, white flowering cones that age to a lovely soft pink over the summer. It is a head turner! Bobo is a panicle type so it is not fussy when it comes to what soil type it is grown in; however, it does like consistent moisture. Flower color is not affected by the soil pH. Bobo is perfect for containers and small spaces.
