Although I have been a florist for years alot my florist friends hydrate hydrangea’s
different ways. One way is to soak the heads in water when they come in from the wholesaler to just cutting the stems but keeping them in glass instead of buckets in the cooler. Help please!  There are many other ways i have heard of!
