How to get the longest vase life from your cut Hydrangea Blooms
Here's how to get the longest life from your cut Hydrangea Blooms! Hydrangeas are a beautiful long lasting flower, and if we take a little extra care to cut and condition them properly we can get a vase life of up to two weeks!
Today I'm cutting from a beautiful Proven Winner Hydrangea called Let's Dance Rave. It's a reblooming hydrangea that I love in the landscape and the vase. You can see more info on this plant here - https://www.provenwinners.com/plants/hydrangea/lets-dance-rave-reblooming-hydrangea-hydrangea-macrophylla
Here is a quick guide to my tips
- Cut from a well hydrated plant in the early morning before the sun has reached the plant
- Only cut older mature blooms that are fully open and fully colored. The older the bloom the longer the vase life
- Strip all the leaves, cut the stem at an angle, and then cut vertically up the stem
- Immediately place into tepid water with cut flower food
- Let condition (rest) in a cool place for 12-24 hours
- If a bloom wilts in the vase try the boiling water method or water bath method to bring the bloom back to life
- Before arranging, dip the stem in Alum powder to increase the vase life
- Keep cut hydrangeas in a cool room away from direct sun
- Change the water every few days and give the stems a fresh cut at the this
With these tips I've seen Hydrangeas go almost a full month! The most important part is really to pick them when they are mature. An older bloom will hold WAY longer than a fresh bloom. A bloom that is immature will wilt immediately and no trick in the book will fix it.
Happy Gardening everyone!
