Mix of Hydrangea

Description

About this bouquet

Fifteen hydrangea stems in light pink, blue and white. Three colours of the same flower rather than three different flowers — the shape stays clean and the colour does the work. Hydrangea drinks through its petals as well as its stems, so mist the heads and it will hold five to seven days; a wilted head usually recovers after twenty minutes submerged in cool water.

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 promotion, a new home or a graduation it is upright and cheerful, and it survives being carried across an office or handed over at a ceremony.

15 stems suits a standard cylinder vase. Trim a little off the stems every couple of days as you change the water and it will hold its shape longer.

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.
