How to recognise Magical Candle hydrangea, when it is in season and how to keep it fresh.
Strip leaves below the waterline as hydrangea foliage wilts the water quickly and fouls it. Recut stems at an angle under water and consider smashing or scoring the base to improve uptake. Keep in deep, cool water and mist the heads if they look dry, as this variety is prone to wilting. Keep away from direct heat and draughts.
