Prune Hydrangea 'Groundbreaker Greeny' between November and April to encourage another lavish summer display. Hardy to around -30°C, Hydrangea paniculata 'Groundbreaker Greeny' is compact, resilient and quietly revolutionary, a panicle hydrangea that has clearly decided height is not everything.

Plant calendar
Check each plant’s specifications. Hardy perennials can remain outdoors, while half-hardy and tender varieties should be kept frost-free until the risk of frost has passed.
Plant within a month, preferably sooner. Choose a suitable position, remove weeds and loosen the soil thoroughly, adding compost or well-rotted organic matter where needed.
Gently remove the plant from its pot and plant with the root ball level with the soil surface. Firm gently, water well and add a plant label.
Water regularly until established and whenever the soil feels dry during spring and summer. Feed container-grown plants fortnightly during active growth to encourage healthy flowering.
