How to Grow
Light: Part-sun (4-6 hours sun). It especially enjoys morning sun and afternoon shade.
Water: Water to keep soil moist, but not wet. Intolerant of drought, so don't allow the soil to dry out.
Spacing: 3 feet
Fertilizing: It is generally unnecessary, but you can fertilize once in spring if soils are deficient or growth is slow.
Winterizing: This is one of the hardiest of the hydrangeas. Remove and destroy any fallen foliage that was infected by powdery mildew. Spread a layer of mulch around the plant for added protection.
Maintenance & pruning: Because of its compact habit and the fact that it blooms on new wood, it rarely needs pruning. Prune in late winter or early spring to promote new growth.
Plant spacing is based on the ultimate width of the plants. This figure is normally given as a range; for example, 3-5’. If you live in a cold climate and/or want plants to fill in more quickly, plan to space at the shorter end of the range. If you live in a warm climate, are on a limited budget, or are willing to wait longer for plants to touch, use the higher end of the range. Using the larger number is recommended when calculating distance from a building or structure. There’s really no such thing as "maximum spacing": if you don’t want your plants to touch, you can space them as far apart as you’d like. All plant spacing is calculated on center, or in other words, the centers of the plants are spaced one half of their eventual width apart:
Unless you are planting in a straight line, as you might for hedges or edging, space your plants in a staggered or zig-zag pattern for a more interesting and naturalistic look:
Not sure just how many plants will fit in your garden? Our calculator gives you the exact amount of plants required for your space. Simply update the values and the calculator will re-calculate accordingly. Spacing information can be found in the 'How to Grow' tab on each plant's page.
Happy with the quart sized hydrangas I received. They were well packed and quite happy and they've been doing well since they've been planted. Looking forward to how they will develop and bloom in a few years.
Best purchase these stand true to the description. Absolute stunners!
3 of the plants that I received were either dying or very small for $20 each! I would like a replacement or full refund.

I ordered the BoBo Hydrangea plants, two of them. I was disappointed in the size and wrote a review about it for the cost. Now I am dealing with one dying, and one might make it. They were both planted at the same time, use the same BIO-TONE STARTER and good soil, watered accordingly. Take a look. Not sure of what I did wrong. These are small plants, about a quart size. Not happy at this point. My original review was TWO star.
healthy plants
Ordered the quart size at end of season. Received a tiny little plant. I've ordered the quart size before and received much larger plants. I hope it makes it through the winter. Can only give it 3 stars for now. I'll update next summer.

Arrived well packed and healthy
It was in great shape when I received my bobo. Still doing great!
Arrived in pretty poor shape, it has finally started getting some leaves, but is still looking pretty bad. :-(

Product was shipped quickly. It was bright and green when I received it.
Looking forward to seeing lots of blooms!
Beautiful plants. Very well packaged and all came alive and well. The prices are decent compared to local farm stores. They give great instructions on and off the website. It's up to the gardener to take good care of the plants once they receive them.
My plants arrived very healthy and a good size. They were packed very well.
The plants arrived on time and we're healthy. I was pleased with how quickly the plants started to grow and allnof them are doing very well!
I ordered the quart size so it’s small but full of healthy leaves and there is no damage from shipping. I am planting it in a large pot so I didn’t mind the smaller size. It is still a good value compared to much larger, more established plants.
The plant had a wonderful big healthy root system , but I really thought I was getting a bigger plant than the one that arrived for the price I paid.

I’ve always dreamed of having hydrangeas. This is the first time I’ve lived where I have a perfect spot for them. I ordered 4 plants. They arrived beautifully packaged and healthy! They are thriving in their stage 1 journey after planting. I look forward to the future happiness they will bring to me!!
Plant arrived healthy and are as expected as far as size. Lots of good growth.
Too early to tell...but leaves are still green!

I ordered these and they came at the time I picked. I planted them and they are growing so well. They are healthy and were packaged great.
Everything arrived healthy and looking great. It was a bit messy dealing with the packaging, but overall, I was happy with it.
