Tips for Hydrangeas
- They are thirsty flowers, so keep the vase or container topped up with fresh water daily.
- Work with odd number of stems for floral arrangements; 3,5 or 7
- Trim the Hydrangea woody stems short before arranging
- Arrange on their own or mix with lisianthus, roses or soft greenery.
- Low, sturdy vases work well for hydrangea arrangements. Check out our acrylic cube vase which is ideal for multi-use floral designs or best selling flower hat boxes are also fantastic for stylish gifts.

- Vase
- Any additional foliage or flowers
How to make a simple Hydrangea Vase Centrepiece
- Fill your clean vase half way with tap water and add a sachet of FloraLife.
- Measure your hydrangea stems against the vase, trimming at a 45 degree angle so that the flower head will sit just above the rim of the vase.
- Carefully strip any leaves on the stem that will fall below the water line.
- Arrange stem by stem in the vase – pop each hydrangea in at an angle, so that the stems will ‘criss-cross’. This helps add stability to the floral arrangement and looks pretty if using a clear vase.
- Add any foliage or additional flowers if using.
- Proudly display!
