Groundbreaker® Ruby™
Description
Groundbreaker® Hydrangea is a unique groundcover form of Hydrangea paniculata, bred to stay low and spread wider than it grows tall. Reaching roughly 12–16 inches high and 24–32 inches wide, it creates a flowering carpet that works beautifully along pathways, at the front of borders, in mass plantings, or in containers. It blooms on new growth, flowers for an extended period from summer into fall, and performs well in sun to part shade, offering the beauty and reliability of a panicle hydrangea in a much more compact form.
