Cutting fresh hydrangea flowers is a rewarding task that can add beauty and fragrance to your home. Hydrangeas are popular garden shrubs known for their large, showy flower heads. They come in a wide range of colors, including blue, pink, purple, and white. Hydrangeas can be cut and brought indoors to enjoy as fresh cut flowers. With proper care, they will last for several weeks.
To cut fresh hydrangea flowers, you will need a sharp pair of scissors or pruning shears. Choose stems that are healthy and have at least two sets of leaves. Cut the stems at a 45-degree angle, just above a set of leaves. Remove any leaves that will be below the water line when the flowers are arranged in a vase.
