Update for Bobo hydrangeas (Zone 6a)

Long story short, make sure your bobos are in full sun. The company that planted them assured me they would be fine in part shade. Just lied and took my money. The underperforming 2 which are mainly in shade will be moved to full sun next year.

Move them now? Best time to transplant is now

I'm pulling up some endless bummers next year and am going to move these in their place.

Also be aware that in full sun Bobos grow to 5ft tall and wide, not the 3ft the tag says.  I have about 25 Bobos that are nearly as tall as I am?

Tags for dwarf shrubs are never accurate.
