Why Your Hydrangeas Won't Dry: The Cool-Dry Secret

Hydrangeas wilt instead of drying? You're missing the environment.

The Formula

• Cool (60–65°F ideal).
• Dry (low humidity, good airflow).
• No water – stand in empty vase/bucket.

Variety Matters

Some hydrangeas (macrophylla/mophead) are finicky. Pee Gee, Annabelle, Limelight dry reliably. If yours fail repeatedly, the cultivar may not suit air-drying—try silica gel instead.
