In the spring I was given a stunning Nikko Blue Hydrangea. The blooms were long-lived but when they started to fade, I decided to dry the flowers and use them to decorate my home.
I dried hydrangea flowers once before and it took the flowers approximately 3 weeks to dry fully.
There are many ways to dry hydrangea flowers, I did the simple method of cutting a 3-inch stem along with the flower and then
hanging the flowers so that they face the floor. Dry the flowers in a room that is dry and the light is
dim, with no direct sunlight.
Once the flowers are fully dried you would keep your hydrangea looking nice with hairspray as
it will prevent the flower from falling apart.
When it comes to decorating with dried hydrangea flowers
know that you can add them to other dried flowers in an arrangement or create a
bouquet of dried hydrangeas to use in a vase.
You can also buy a floral tape or wire to attach the flower
stems to a wreath or to add to a Christmas tree.
