Description

(Panicle Hydrangea) Bobo Panicle Hydrangeadelivers bold color and structure in a compact, easy-care shrub. To begin with, the same breeder behind Pinky Winky developed this standout variety. As a result, Bobo offers reliable performance and eye-catching summer blooms.

Bobo grows just 3–4 feet tall and wide at maturity. However, it produces massive white flower clusters from top to bottom.
Throughout summer, the blooms continue growing longer and fuller. Over time, the flowers fade into a soft pink blush.

Meanwhile, thick, sturdy stems hold the large blooms upright. Because of this strength, the flowers never flop.

Thanks to its compact size, gardeners easily use Bobo in containers. Likewise, it anchors borders and foundation plantings with confidence. Since this panicle hydrangea blooms on new wood, it flowers reliably every year. Therefore, you can prune it in late fall or early spring without worry.

Key features include:

Compact shrub with oversized summer blooms
White flowers that age to soft pink
Strong stems that support heavy flower clusters
Blooms on new wood for simple pruning
Excellent choice for containers and landscapes

Additionally, gardeners cut Bobo blooms for fresh or dried arrangements. As a result, the beauty continues indoors long after flowering. Overall, Bobo remains a standout shrub from Proven Winners ColorChoice® Flowering Shrubs.

Team Favorites

Bobo® is a lovely variety, with its compact size, beautiful white blooms, and gradual color transformation as the season goes on. Many people appreciate how versatile they are, thriving in both sun and partial shade, and its ability to bloom profusely from summer to fall. I like the way Bobo® shifts from white to pink and then to a deeper red or purple hue makes it visually captivating throughout the season.

Reviews

Buy this shrub! I can’t say enough good things about it—beautiful long-lasting blooms and smaller size make it easy to fit into any garden. I have 3 of these in my front, under windows, and they are wonderful. I am putting in a new space this upcoming season and I will incorporate more of these. They are that good.

Love these little shrubs! I have six of them planted—such performers!

Perfect shrub to fill smaller areas of the garden. Strong stems hold up these big blooms. Easy to maintain.

The perfect Hydrangea for smaller spaces. I live in a condo and have very little space to express my love of plants. The big white blooms are supported with strong stems in a compact habit. It puts on quite a show. I trim it back in the spring and it flourishes with beautiful blooms all summer.
