Hydrangea Bobo

I recently bought two small Hydrangea Bobo's - they aren't in flower yet and I think they are going to be white but I can't totally remember.
Has anyone else have Hydrangea Bobo in their garden and if so, have you found them successful?

    So researched further.....

    "Featured snippet from the web

This hydrangea is not affected by the ph of the soil. Size: 1mtr (3ft) height. Position: Full sun or partial shade."

    "Following a world-wide success with Pinky Winky® hydrangea, in 2005 Belgian breeder Johan van Huylenbroeck came up with another hydrangea beauty whose name was no less cute: BOBO®. A cross between the species and a variety called Pink Diamond was patented as 'Ilvobo' under PP22782 in 2012."

    My Mum has one in a very large pot that I admired so I bought 2 for myself last autumn that are also in large pots. They are only small just now but have the first signs of flower buds. They are a dwarf type but seem to fill out well and quite quickly too. The flowers are white and last all summer.

    Thanks Both, 
    I will have a good read of the information you've posted later on @Silver surfer
    I have kept notes of the small paniculas 
    that you have for future reference. 
    Bobo sounds promising so I look forward to seeing what they do.
