Bobo® panicle hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata) in shrub form grows about 60 to 90 cm (2 to 3 ft) tall and 90 to 110 cm (3 to 3.5 ft) wide. Its flower clusters open creamy white in midsummer and turn pale pink later in the season. The low, dense habit suits small gardens, borders and large containers. For a tree-form Bobo, check the stem height listed for the selected size and allow room for the crown above it.

Plant Bobo in sun or partial shade in well-drained soil. Moisten the root ball before planting and check soil moisture while the shrub establishes. Leave room for its mature spread. For container growing, use a large pot with drainage holes. Roots in a pot are more exposed to cold than roots in the ground.

When should you prune a Bobo panicle hydrangea?

For the shrub form, prune in late winter or early spring before new growth starts. Bobo blooms on the current season’s shoots, so light pruning at that time leaves the plant time to grow flowering stems. Remove dead or damaged stems and trim lightly to keep the shrub’s natural shape.
