oakleaf hydrangea

I have the 'Peewee' (dwarf) version of this. I killed one that came from
Wayside (in the south). Then I ordered one from a LI nursery and the top of
it died last winter. It spent last summer replacing the top and probably
only grew an inch (making the whole thing about six inches high). Now it's
in my basement, hiding from the winter and still holding on to its leaves.
My question is: Given that I have a dwarf of a slow-growing species, can I
continue to expect this glacial rate of growth? Or can I place it somewhere
(that is, directly in soil) this spring where it might have to compete with
other plants?
Thanks,
