Bulk Hydrangea flowers are shipped directly from our farms. Before shipping your flowers, we prepare them for their journey with proper hydration methods. If your flowers appear sleepy and thirsty after their journey, it is absolutely NORMAL. Just follow these simple steps and the flowers will bloom delightfully.

1. Remove flowers from box by cutting any straps.
2. Fill 2 containers one with at least 4 inches of fresh, cool water and the other with warm water. 
3. Using sharp scissors or a knife under running water, cut the stems diagonally approximately an inch from each stem's bottom edge. 
4. Immediately after cutting, place the stems in the prepared warm water for approximately 5 seconds then place the flowers into the cool water.
5. Remove any dark or fading petals. It is normal to find several unattractive dark or fading petals, all of which can be easily removed without damaging the Hydrangea.
6. Keep flowers away from direct sunlight, drafts or excessive heat. Cooler temperatures will prolong the Hydrangea's vase life. You may choose to use a floral refrigerator, but it is not required. 
7. Allow your flowers at least 4 hours to properly hydrate before arranging.
8. Change water and re-cut stems every 24 hours to keep flowers fresh. Assure that your flowers have sufficient water. The flowers will drink an exceptionally large amount of water upon arrival.

To refresh the flower, dunk the entire flower head in cool water for approximately 20 minutes. For special instructions about reviving hydrangeas by dunking in fresh water, click on this link How to Revive Wilted Hydrangeas - Industry Insider Share their Secrets.

Hydrangeas are also great for dried arrangements. To dry them, simply hang them upside down, preferably in a warm place for a few days. Hydrangeas may lose a little color in the process but the dried flowers will last for eight months or longer.
