Gently shake dry before re-cutting." You will need to store your hydrangea around 36 to 38degrees Fahrenheit. It is important to keep the humidity relatively high around 80% and air velocity should be kept to a minimum. Also keep your flowers away from fruits and vegetables since they give off ethylene gas. Good luck. Linnea

Is this correct? I'm hoping to do my own flowers for my wedding and would like to use hydrangeas. What tips do you have? Thanks!
