Bobo hydrangea is the trade name for a dwarf variety of the panicle hydrangea ( Hydrangea paniculata 'Ilvobo'). While similar to other hydrangeas in every other way, including care needs, it grows only 2 to 3 feet high and slightly wider. Bobo is a new dwarf hardy hydrangea that will attract a lot of attention. The strong and sturdy stems on this dwarf plant will hold flowers upright. An abundance of white conical flowers cover this hydrangea from summer to fall.
In rich soil, this plant will not need any feeding. If soil is poor, a light application of fertilizer in spring is a good idea—use a fertilizer formulation designed to promote flowering, such as 15-30-15. Avoid overfeeding with nitrogen, as this can lead to lush leaf growth but few flowers.
