Hydrangea paniculata 'Ilvobo' BOBO
Hardy little Bobo is a dwarf hydrangea that has large white panicles all summer; toward fall they get a pinkish tinge. It prefers a rich loamy soil and moderate moisture but is adaptable to a many soils.
Regardless of its easy-growing nature, Bobo will bloom for you every year, an excellent novelty plant for small spaces. Also good in containers.
Pruning: Deadhead faded flowers soon after they are spent. Prune cross-branches or dead stems in Late Autumn (after it hits dormancy & drops its leaves) or in Early Spring; do not prune otherwise.
Paniculatas can be pruned into 'tree form'
