Our PurpleTinted Hydrangeas are a stunning variation of the classic hydrangea, created through a process of intravenous tinting that results in their captivating, multi-tonal blooms. The unique technique infuses the flowers with vibrant shades of deep purple, lavender, and soft blue, creating a dramatic, watercolor-like effect with subtle gradients of color. These dyed hydrangeas possess an otherworldly beauty, with some petals transitioning from delicate lilac tones to richer, deeper purples, all while maintaining a soft, elegant appearance. These are perfect for adding a unique, luxurious touch to floral arrangements. Their bold, vibrant color pairs wonderfully with other flowers, whether for a romantic wedding, a sophisticated centerpiece, or a creative, modern bouquet. The multi-toned effect of the petals gives the flowers a sense of depth and intrigue, making them a perfect focal point for both formal and casual floral designs.

Flower Care Hydrangeas:
Hydrangeas are stunning, but they can be a little delicate when cut. To keep your fresh cut hydrangeas looking beautiful for as long as possible, follow these care tips.
By following these simple steps, your fresh cut hydrangeas will stay hydrated and vibrant for longer, allowing you to enjoy their beauty and charm in your space.
1. Trim the Stems
- Cut at an Angle: Use sharp, clean scissors or a floral knife to trim the stems about 1-2 inches from the bottom at a 45-degree angle. This allows for better water absorption. Make sure to remove any rubber bands or plastic sleeves/paper around the bunches.
- Underwater Cutting: If possible, cut the stems underwater or immediately place them in water after cutting. This prevents air from entering the stems, which can block water uptake.
2. Hydrate Immediately
- Place in Fresh Water: After trimming, place your hydrangeas in a vase filled with clean, lukewarm water. Hydrangeas are known for being thirsty flowers, so it's important to give them plenty of water to drink right away.
3. Add Flower Food
- Add Flower Food: If you have flower food, mix it into the water as instructed. Flower food provides essential nutrients and helps prevent bacterial growth. If you dont have flower food, just plain water will do the trick.
4. Keep the Water Fresh
- Change the Water Regularly: Every 1-2 days, change the water in your vase. Fresh water keeps the hydrangeas hydrated and prevents bacteria buildup. When you change the water, trim the stems slightly again to ensure they continue absorbing water effectively.
- NOTE: Hydrangeas are particularly prone to wilting if the water isn’t refreshed regularly. Change the water every day to keep it clean and free from bacteria. If you have dyed hydrangeas, you’ll want to change the water more frequently, as the dye may cause the water to change color. The dye can sometimes leak into the water, so keeping the water clean and clear will help preserve both the flowers and your vase.
5. Keep Out of Direct Sunlight and Heat
- Avoid Heat Sources: Hydrangeas are sensitive to heat, so place them in a cool, shaded area away from direct sunlight, heat vents, or other sources of warmth. A cool environment helps the flowers stay fresh longer.
6. Prune Dead Blooms
- Remove Faded Flowers: As the blooms begin to wilt or fade, gently remove them to prevent them from affecting the rest of the bouquet. This helps maintain the overall health and appearance of the remaining flowers.
7. Rehydrate Overnight (Optional)
- Soak the Stems: If your hydrangeas start to wilt during the day, you can rehydrate them overnight by placing the entire bouquet in a sink or basin of water (up to the bloom, not covering the petals) to help them absorb moisture.
8. Avoid Drafts
- Keep Away from Drafts: Do not place your hydrangeas near open windows or air conditioning vents, as drafts can cause them to wilt faster.
9. Re-cut the Stems if Needed
- If the flowers begin to droop or wilt prematurely, re-cut the stems by about 1 inch and place them back into fresh water. This can help improve water absorption and revive the flowers.
