Arrangements with Hydrangeas

Hydrangeas are known for their large, globe-like flower clusters and come in a variety of colors, including blue, pink, white, and purple. The color of hydrangea blooms can vary depending on the pH of the soil in which they are grown, with acidic soils producing blue flowers and alkaline soils yielding pink hues.

These flowers are characterized by their robust, bushy appearance and are often used in floral arrangements for their ability to add volume and texture. Hydrangeas are versatile and can be used in both formal and casual settings, making them ideal for weddings, centerpieces, and bouquets.

There are several popular varieties of hydrangeas, such as the 'Endless Summer' which is known for its ability to bloom repeatedly throughout the growing season. In addition to their beauty, hydrangeas hold cultural significance in various parts of the world, symbolizing heartfelt emotions, gratitude, and abundance.

To ensure your cut hydrangeas last as long as possible, begin by trimming the stems at a 45-degree angle under running water, which helps prevent air from entering the stem. Remove any leaves that will be submerged in water to reduce bacterial growth.

• Use fresh, clean water in your vase and change it every two to three days.
• Keep the hydrangeas in a cool location away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
• Consider adding a floral preservative to the water to extend their vase life.

If you notice the blooms wilting, submerge the entire flower head in water for a few hours to rehydrate them.
