Description
Like bursts of color painted across a canvas, hydrangeas grace gardens with their voluminous blooms, a timeless symbol of abundance, grace, and the ephemeral beauty of nature.
Note:
- Bring a fresh container of water into the garden first thing in the morning on the day of cutting.
- Select blossom heads that have ninety percent of their flowers open.
- Trim stems at an angle, then drop them right away into the water bucket; keep them out of the direct sunlight.
- After harvesting, as soon as you can, submerge the cuttings whole, blossoms, and everything.
- As needed, remove the cuttings from the water while keeping them immersed.
- Take out any leaves that will be submerged in the vase, or all of the leaves if you’d like.
- Before placing the stem ends in the vase, recut or mash them.
- You can also dissolve the sap at the tips of the stems by briefly immersing the cut ends in a cup of hot water.
