When talking about a single flower, there's a slight feeling of guilt toward all the others members of the flora. Here at XOstudio FLOWERS, we often emphasize in our articles that every plant is uniquely beautiful. And we could go on and on — colorfully and passionately — about each of the flowers we work with. But today, it’s time to focus on the hydrangea.
It truly deserves it.In the online catalog at xoflowers.md, you’ll find a wide gallery of both mono-bouquets made from hydrangeas and mixed floral arrangements where this floral “donna” reigns. Needless to say, hydrangeas are among our florists’ favorite summer flowers. We absolutely love them — and we’re sure you will too. They’re simply beautiful.
A bit of etymology and history
Officially, this flower bears the botanical name Hydrangea. One theory suggests the name comes from ancient Greek, meaning “a vessel of water.” This is due to the flower’s well-known love of moisture — both in nature and in cut form, hydrangeas are famously “thirsty.”
The alternative name hortensia comes from the Latin word hortus, meaning “garden” — reaffirming the flower’s noble status among ornamental plants.
There are several dozen species of hydrangea, most of which originate from East Asia, including Japan, China, and Korea.
In Japan, they’ve been cultivated for centuries. Hydrangeas appear in poetry as early as 710 AD and are depicted in classical artwork. They were planted in Buddhist temple gardens, and their leaves were used to make sweet amacha tea for ceremonies celebrating the birth of Buddha.

Hydrangeas in floristry — an undisputed trend
Available in every shade of pink, blue, and purple — as well as creamy white and rustic green — hydrangeas are incredibly popular among our clients due to their versatility and visual magnetism. People choose hydrangea bouquets for birthdays, weddings, graduations, or simply when emotions overflow. Their large blossoms and abundance of lace-like petals create a striking focal point in any floral design, adding a vintage touch of charm.
Combining hydrangeas with other flowers
Hydrangeas bloom during the same season as many other flowers, giving our florists the perfect opportunity to create designer bouquets, luxurious mono/duo-bouquets of hydrangeas. One of the most beloved combinations is peonies and hydrangeas — together, they feel as sweet as emotion and as airy as the sky. We recommend the “Luxurious Love” bouquet, where hydrangeas harmoniously blend with peonies, gerberas, and spray roses. Or order online a bouquet that pairs hydrangeas with lisianthus — your message will “fly” straight to your loved one’s heart on wings of affection. There are endless options. Scroll through our online catalog for a true aesthetic experience. You’ll find custom bouquets, flowers in baskets and boxes, and stunning mono/duo hydrangea arrangements. Don’t deny yourself the pleasure of giving someone a truly beautiful bouquet of hydrangeas.
A few care tips
If an XOstudio FLOWERS courier delivered a hydrangea bouquet to you, be sure to read our recommendations for the care of cut glieers on the website. Place the flowers in water immediately to keep them looking fresh and vibrant. Replenish the water daily, and change it completely after a few days. Your bouquet will stay fresh for 10 days or more — an impressive life span for such delicate blooms.
Hydrangeas can also last much longer as dried flowers. Just let them dry naturally — and they’ll hold their shape beautifully for a very long time.
