Depends on: If you have it in the pot now and need just to put it into the ground, then prepare hole big enough according to planting instructions and you can plant it anytime as is as you get it out of the pot . Water well till the plant get used to new location. If your plant is large or you want relocate it from another place, I would wait till it sheds all leaves; ones it's ready for "hybernation", then you can plant it anytime until the ground freezes (same as other trees and shrubs). You would be surprise, how hardy this plant is.

Yes / No Mine did not look very good last year when I got them in late spring.I am in SC where it is very hot and they certainly have no issues with a winter here. (rarely lower than 32) I had been approached by the provider asking detail questions because I gave a not so great review. I just let it go after some discussions. They did not die but were slow to flower and small. This year however they are 2 to 3 feet tall 2-3 wide and beautiful. Extremely healthy. And doing better than 2 expensive ones bought in the actual store last year different provider. So the provider will communicate with you. And even if they aren't great the 1st year as long as you are in a valid zone for the plant they are great. They are worth it.

Hi DrDan, Thank you for asking. Bobo Hardy Hydrangea prefers good, loamy soil. Adaptable to many soils, moderate moisture required. Water when the first few inches of the top soil is dry.

Yes, Bobo is perfect for NY and NJ. It's tolerant to zone 3, which is very cold hardy. Most of NY and NJ don't get that cold, but check to make sure you're not zone 2 or 1 (I doubt you are). Most of NY and NJ are zone 5 - 6.

Just received mine today and it's in bloom now. Beautiful, full, and healthy. The one gallon is deceptive. I did not expect this big of a plant in a one gallon container, but it was a far larger bush than two other varieties that I bought in 2.25 gallon pots. Go figure.

Hi BeckyLynn, Yes, Bobo Hydrangea can be planted on a slope. It stands upright on strong stems. Be sure to plant into the side of the slope, so the plant is not angled. If you have any questions on how to achieve this please feel free to contact us here at Proven Winners Direct (734) 654-7485 or helpdesk@provenwinnersdirect.com Kind Regards, Shae

Hi CMOM, What a great choice, these are perfect in a container! Our Bobo Panicle Hydrangea has a mature growth rate of 3ft tall and 4ft wide. We recommend a container that is a couple inches larger than the current plant size.
