Although we do not sell any fresh flowers, our history and much of our product line is based around them. Today’s tip is a care and handling one involving a very popular flower.

Hydrangeas are a beautiful and popular flower. They are so beautiful that a handful can be dropped in a glass vase to create a table arrangment. This tip will help you keep them looking fresh and beautiful for longer.

Most people assume that flowers take in water through their stems that are placed in water. For hydrangeas, this is only partly true. They also take in a great deal of water through their petals. So, if your hydrangeas are starting to look wilty and old, take them out of the vase and soak them in a tub of water for an hour. Also, cut one inch from the stem to help the hydration from the stem.
