Select Hydrangea
The Blooms that do the Heavy Lifting

If you're looking for maximum impact with minimal stems, white hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla) is your girl. Available in Select and Premium grades, these lush blooms feature 50-70 cm stems with flower heads averaging 6-10 inches across. A longtime wedding favorite, white hydrangea instantly fills bouquets, centerpieces, and installations with texture and volume while keeping the overall look clean and polished. It plays nicely with just about every flower in the cooler—which explains why designers keep reaching for it year after year.
