The hydrangea has already caught the imagination of the entire country. Their luxuriant flowers are often covered with magazine covers, home decorating fibers, and even saucers.
In California, this kind of flower that is harvested all year round contains colors of all seasons. In addition to milky and soft five-color, there are bright blue, vivid pink, and even purple-red hydrangea "Matilda Gucci". Hydrangea does not apply to wedding bouquets, British gardening, Flemish designs of fruit and flower mix, or is wrapped in Christmas wreaths.
The charm of the hydrangea lies partly in its ability to change colors, either naturally at maturity or due to climate and acidic soils. For example, Preziosa turns from white to violet and wine red before summer. The most fascinating transformation is the “glow of ashâ€, which turns from berry red to bright red during its autumn maturation.
Jerry Boluan said that bright, intense colors are now in demand. He cultivated 85 different varieties of hydrangea in the Green Valley plantation in Sebastopol, California. The two most popular varieties are the "blue Danube" (with a dark purple, a bit like violet flowers) and "Nikokoblue" (with lime green leaves and petals that vary from gray to dark blue with the acidity of the soil).
The dried hydrangea is just as popular and colorful as the newly picked ones. Many of the colors on the flowers turn green, while others remain in their original colors. "NikkoBlue" will turn bright green and the top of the petals will remain purple.
If you do not dry well, the bubbles in the flowers can easily clog their stems. It is best if the newly cut hydrangea can be placed in a deep container with enough water.
