An oversized basket of twenty sky-blue and ivory hydrangea stems. It arrives already arranged in water, which is the whole point for a household with a newborn — nobody has to find a vase, cut stems or clear a surface. Blue hydrangea is the most requested flower we have for a new baby, and the basket travels better than a wrapped bouquet.

Who this one suits

For a birthday it reads as celebratory rather than romantic, which makes it safe for a friend, a parent or a colleague as much as a partner.

For a new baby the soft tones work in a nursery, and a delivery to the home a few days after the birth usually lands better than one to the ward.

It arrives as a basket arrangement — the flowers are already set in water inside, so there is nothing to unwrap, cut or find a vase for at the other end. That is why we send baskets to hospital rooms, offices and homes with a newborn, where nobody has time to deal with a wrapped bouquet.

Caring for hydrangeas

Hydrangeas drink through their petals as well as their stems, so a light mist of water on the heads keeps them firm. If a head wilts, submerge the whole flower in cool water for twenty minutes and it usually comes back. Re-cut the thick stems at a steep angle so they can take up water. Five to seven days indoors.
