Bobo Hardy Hydrangea Hydrangea paniculata
Part Sun to Sun 30 - 36

This dwarf hydrangea will turn heads!  Bobo is a delightful plant that is engulfed by large white flowers in summer.  The flowers are held upright on strong stems, and continue to grow and lengthen as they bloom.  In fall they can turn pinkish.  It is an undeniable asset to any garden, particularly those in which space is limited.  It won the Gold Florall medal for best novelty plant.  This new variety will be available in better garden centers Spring 2013.
