Planting and care

Hydrangea paniculata Bobo® is preferably planted from September to November or from March to May, outside periods of frost or drought. It flowers in full sun in regions with temperate summers, but light partial shade is preferable in regions where summers are hot. This shrub requires a deep, fertile, humus-bearing, moist and well-drained soil. It tolerates acid, neutral or slightly calcareous soils, and the pH does not change the colour of its flowers. Regular watering during the first two years and an organic mulch help it to establish; in a pot, the growing medium must never dry out completely. An application of well-rotted compost in spring is generally enough to support its flowering.
