Continuing my feature on hydrangeas that are hardy in zone 3 gardens and have proven themselves worthy of your garden. Here's Bobo Hydrangea.
Bobo Hydrangea is a paniculata, meaning it has elongated clusters of flowers (a panicle). It is dwarf and hardy with abundant flowers.
Height: 30 - 36 inches
Width: 36 - 48 inches
Spacing: 48 - 60 inches
Blooms: summer to autumn
Exposure: part sun to sun
Flowers borne in elongated clusters, start white and turn pink in the autumn. The bush is literally covered top to bottom in blooms. Blooms on new wood. Reliable bloomer.
Soil: good loam, moderate moisture, well-drained.
Hardy zones 3 - 8
The flowers are upright on strong stems, with panicles continuing to lengthen through the growing season.
Bobo Hydrangea is a show-stopper. It was awarded the 2010 Gold FLORALL Medal for best novelty plant.
