Hydrangeas

Hydrangeas are available throughout much of the year, with different varieties appearing depending on the season. Brightly coloured hydrangeas in pinks, blues, and purples are in season in the spring and summer, whilst red and green hydrangeas at their best in the autumn. In the winter, opt for snowy white hydrangeas for that gorgeous winter wonderland look.

Our collection features many luxurious hydrangea bouquets containing this variety alone or together with other luxury flowers. Colours include sky blue hydrangeas and creamy white hydrangeas, alongside pink hydrangeas in tones from baby pink to ruby red. Pastel toned hydrangeas are at their best in the summer, with the colours fading to burnt reds and fresh greens in the autumn. With their many vibrant and pastel colours, there is never a dull moment having them in your presence.

A beautiful bouquet of hydrangeas makes for a wonderful gift for a loved one. In the language of flowers, hydrangeas usually symbolise heartfelt emotions, so whether you're expressing love, friendship, saying thank you, or offering your congratulations, these bouquets will show your sincerity.

The colour can also change the meaning of your hydrangea bouquet:

Blue Hydrangeas: Gratitude, Understanding, Forgiveness

Purple Hydrangeas: Wanting to know someone better, Wealth, Royalty

White Hydrangeas: Purity, Grace, Abundance

Green Hydrangeas: Renewal, Rebirth, Luck

Red Hydrangeas: Passion, Love, Romance

The name hydrangea comes from the Greek words meaning ‘water vessel’, so it’s no surprise that these flowers like plenty of water! When you trim the stems, you can also make a small cut vertically to create a slit. This helps your hydrangeas to absorb water more efficiently. Make sure to keep their vase full and topped up, and change the water every couple of days to keep them fresh and healthy. Misting your hydrangeas can also give them a boost, as hydrangeas absorb water through their flowers as well as their stems.

If your hydrangeas begin to droop, it’s very easy to revive them. Retrim the stems and then completely submerge the head and stem of the flower in tepid water. Leave the flowers underwater for at least an hour and they should perk right back up.
