How to recognise Beautensia Papillon hydrangea, when it is in season and how to keep it fresh.
Recut stems under water and remove any foliage that sits below the waterline. Hydrangeas drink heavily, so keep vases topped up and mist the heads to prevent wilting. If a head droops, dip the cut stem end in boiling water for a few seconds or submerge the whole bloom in water for an hour. Keep away from direct heat and draughts.
