Hydrangeas Collection

The hydrangea bears one of the most generous flower heads: a single stem often fills a vase. The collection brings together artificial hortensia and hydrangea stems, in plain, glittered or berry-accented versions.

Hortensia or hydrangea

Both names refer to the same flower: hydrangea is its botanical name, hortensia its common name. You will therefore find both names in the collection, while the shape of the flower stays the same. The Snowballs models, with four or five heads, carry several balls on a single stem.

Playing with heights

A hydrangea head takes up a lot of space, and a bunch of strictly identical stems quickly falls flat. Better to mix lengths: a 68 cm stem set beside a 63 cm stem creates a relief that six stems of the same size will not have. The same logic applies to shades, where a single tone of difference is enough to bring the arrangement to life.

Finishes and berries

The glittered Crystal stem catches the light and is best kept for holiday tables. The version with berries adds a smaller, denser counterpoint to the mass of petals. The plain stems, for their part, work through every season: they are the ones to choose first if you are starting from scratch.

Frequently asked questions

How many stems for a medium vase?

Three stems are enough in a vase of about twenty centimeters. Hydrangeas fill a volume few flowers can match, so it is better to start small and add more later.

Can a stem be shortened?

Yes, and wire cutters work more cleanly than scissors. Measure the desired height against the vase before cutting, as the stem cannot be lengthened again.

How do you care for an artificial flower?

A feather duster used regularly is enough for dust, and a barely damp cloth for marked petals. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, which eventually fades the colors.
