Magical flower balls

The time has come for pink, blue and white hydrangeas to make way for the classic versions in green, red and brown hues. With their magical flower balls that swap their colours for antique and dark hues, these cut hydrangeas are a perfect fit for autumn and winter. They are the ideal basis for a bouquet, but also work really well as a single flower in a vase.

The Latin name Hydrangea 

In 1739, the Dutch botanist Grovonius named this flower Hydrangea because it reminded him of an ancient water jar. He came up with the name by combining the words 'hydro' (= water) and 'angeion' (= jar). It turns out, however, that hydrangeas date back even further. Fossil research tells us this plant already existed around 140 million years ago!
