This bloom brings coastal elegance to your space—a stunning arrangement inspired by the breezy beauty of summer in the Hamptons. With lush, full blooms in calming shades of blue, these hydrangeas add timeless charm to any room. Hydrangeas need lots of water and a cool environment to stay happy, so keep your A/C running. Read on for essential care tips to help them thrive.
Hydrangea Flower Care:
- Hold the stems next to your vase to determine how much to trim.
- Remove any foliage that would sit below the waterline to prevent bacteria from forming.
- Prepare your vase first: fill it with water and the flower food included with your hydrangeas. If you forgot extra flower food, a tablespoon of sugar works temporarily.
- Cut 1–2 inches off the stems at a 45‑degree angle with a sharp knife or shears while holding the stems underwater. This boosts water absorption and prevents air bubbles. Place each stem directly into the vase—don’t leave them sitting out dry.
- Hydrangeas love water but hate direct sunlight, heat, and cold drafts. Keep them in a cool room, away from harsh light, so they can live a long, happy life.
- Recondition every 1–2 days
Another Pro-tip:
Hydrangea stems produce a sticky sap that can make water absorption difficult. To help them drink better, gently poke holes down the stem with a needle. Another method is to dip the freshly cut stems in boiling water for a few minutes to melt the sap before placing them in their vase.
Mayflower Market flowers are sold in bunches as indicated above and wrapped in brown paper, tied with raffia (very much similar to flowers purchased from a street vendor or market in Europe) and delivered to you ready to pop into your favorite vase & brighten up your home or workspace.
