Introducing Bobo

Turning heads, all summer long engulfed in abundant large white flowers from top to bottom Bobo, a new dwarf hydrangea from Proven Winners is
an undeniable asset to any garden. 

Small enough for flanking a doorway in matching pots, tucked among fading perennials in late summer, in patio pots on a covered loggia or even in mass as the photo above, are just some of the many uses of this long     blooming woody plant.
