Hydrangeas
Hello Everyone,
I just wanted to get some advice on hydrangeas please  I see alot of people use them in bride's handtieds, but I have always been so nervous to use them as I know they are thirsty flowers and worry about them being out of water for any length of time. I also put some of the white one's in oasis once and they were dreadful! Just died on me within the day. Can anyone give me some advice? Thankyou so much, A x

They can be tempramental...best way I have found to keep them in good condition is to dip the stems in boiling hot water before putting them in a bucket with PLENTY of hydrangea flower food...also they don't like to be too warm. As for in a bqt as long as they are drinking close up to the wedding time they should be fine, plus it may be helpful to give them a bit of a spray with 'Floralife'

Thankyou Mr. T
 I will certainly adopt that flower conditioning next time I use them. They are just so so lovely and I really want to recommend them to my bride's but I am just so worried. Can you imagine all her piccies? Droppy flowers in her bouquet !  Do you find them OK in oasis aswell? A x

sometimes but do prefer to use them in handtieds I find they can drink better...again if using them in oasis soak it in water full of flower food again... but as I say they can be a bit hit and miss...unfortunately the only way you find out is after you ahve bought them!

Turn them upside down ,dunk the whole head in a bucket of fresh water before doing the treatment Mr T just gave you, that also helps , coz they drink through the head as well !!

When putting them in Oasis, lay a piece of same-colour tissue on the Oasis surface first, that way if you get any shrinkage from the hydrangea, you just see a bit of pink/purple/white tissue, far less unsightly than green foam!
