Bobo
Hydrangea 'ILVOBO'
Big blooms on a compact habit! Bobo® dwarf panicle hydrangea has been turning heads since we first saw it at the ILVO research station in Belgium. Exceptionally floriferous, its compact little frame is smothered with large, lacy, white cones that age to a lovely soft pink. The creamy blooms make excellent cut flowers for fresh arrangements or drying, or you can leave them on the plant for some added interest over winter. With an early summer bloom, these hydrangeas start hydrangea season with a bang. Bobo® Hydrangea paniculata ’s small size is perfect for mixed borders, mass plantings, and containers.
