Blue Select Hydrangeas
Blue Select is a farmer's-choice box of blue hydrangeas, sold in 40, 80 or 120 stems per box. Rather than one named variety, we ship whichever blue hydrangeas are at their best that week, graded by head size, so every stem carries a single dome-shaped head about 4–6 in across that arrives open and ready to use. Grading by size instead of variety is what keeps the per-stem price down. Hydrangeas are unscented and very thirsty, with a vase life of 5 to 7 days in deep water. Select heads are smaller than Premium, so you get more stems per box; they suit bouquets and low arrangements where a huge head would overwhelm. PetalDriven ships Blue Select hydrangeas farm-direct and overnight anywhere in the US with free shipping, unarranged and ready to process, at wholesale prices with no tax ID required.

Shipping Info
- Free US shipping on every order.
- Ships FedEx Priority Overnight for next-day delivery.
- Rush shipping is available at no extra cost on this item. Call us on 1-888-738-2529 to check availability.
- Pick your delivery date on the calendar when you add Blue Select hydrangeas to your cart. The calendar shows the next available date.
- Delivery is available Tuesday through Friday. We recommend Tuesday–Thursday, since a Friday arrival leaves no working day to sort out a problem before a weekend event.
- Schedule delivery so the hydrangeas arrive 1–2 days before your event. Unlike roses they arrive already open; what they need is a full day in deep water to rehydrate after travel.
- Hydrangeas arrive boxed and unarranged, with no signature required. They are the thirstiest flower you can buy, so plan to have someone there to get them into water the moment they land.
Care and Processing Instructions
- Unbox as soon as they arrive. Hydrangeas will look tired after a night in a box. That's normal and it reverses.
- Fill a clean bucket with cool water, deep enough to cover at least half the stem.
- Strip every leaf. Leaves pull water away from the head faster than the stem can replace it.
- Cut 1–2 inches off each stem at a sharp angle, then split the bottom inch of the stem with your knife to open up the woody base so it can drink.
- Get the stems into deep water immediately, in a cool spot away from heaters, air conditioning drafts, and direct sunlight.
- Mist the heads lightly with water. Hydrangeas drink through their petals as well as their stems.
- If a head wilts: recut the stem and submerge the entire head in a sink or tub of cool water for 30–60 minutes, then stand it back in deep water. Most heads fully recover within the hour.
- Change the water and recut the stems every 1–2 days.
100% Satisfaction Guarantee
Every order of Blue Select hydrangeas is backed by PetalDriven's 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. If your hydrangeas arrive damaged or in poor condition, contact us within 48 hours of delivery with clear photos of the flowers and your order number, and we'll make it right with a refund or exchange.
Hydrangeas very often look limp straight out of the box. Please follow the revival step above before sending photos, since most heads recover completely within an hour of being submerged.
Email info@petaldriven.com or call 1-888-738-2529. To qualify, hydrate your hydrangeas as soon as they arrive and follow the care instructions above. Claims submitted without photos or after the 48-hour window can't be accepted, and natural variation in color or head size (or, for a farmer’s-choice box, in variety) isn't considered damage.
