Hydrangea has become a real hit in recent years on the world flower market due to its versatility and aesthetic appeal. This flower, with its lush inflorescences and richness of colors, continues to win the hearts of florists, designers and buyers around the world. Having become a symbol of elegance and sophistication, hydrangea can add a touch of luxury and sophistication to any composition, which makes it an ideal choice for a variety of events, from weddings to corporate events.
Hydrangea is usually classified by bud size. Depending on the country and farm of origin, buds with diameters ranging from 9 cm to 24 cm+ can be found.
Hydrangea can be ordered in mono boxes of one variety or color, as well as in the form of mixes of several varieties or colors. Recently, orders for hydrangea in different shades within the same color group, such as pink mix or pastel mix, have become very popular.
Daoflowers, specializing in flower deliveries from Ecuador, Colombia and Kenya, offers hydrangea from these countries to its customers. Hydrangeas in Colombia, Ecuador and Kenya are grown all year round, so you do not have to worry about seasonality and you can get your favorite product consistently throughout the year.
However, our recommendation remains hydrangea from Colombian growers because of its high quality, wide range of colors, variety of bud sizes and best value for money.
Colombia has ideal growing conditions for hydrangeas due to its mild climate and high humidity. Volcanic soils, rich in nutrients, promote healthy growth and abundant flowering of these plants. The stable climatic conditions allow hydrangea to be grown all year round, ensuring a constant supply to customers/p>
Colombian hydrangeas have gained an excellent reputation in the global flower market, becoming the most popular and sought-after among buyers. Over the past few years, hydrangea production in Colombia has increased significantly due to the growing demand. Today, hydrangeas rank fourth among Colombia's export flowers and second in terms of production.
Hydrangea production in Colombia is still under active development. Many new farms are appearing, the range is expanding, and quality and packaging parameters are improving markedly. We are constantly testing trial shipments from different growers and controlling the quality of the flowers. Over the last few years, we have managed to gather an extensive database of Colombian hydrangea growers and can now offer our customers a wide range of proven options of decent quality. Upon customer request, we can provide catalogs with a diverse range from proven Colombian growers to select the items needed.
Colombian growers offer both natural-colored hydrangeas and a wide range of dyed hydrangeas with buds of various sizes (from 9 cm to more than 24 cm in diameter).
Although the natural color range of Colombian hydrangeas may seem somewhat limited, modern dyeing techniques have managed to fully compensate for this disadvantage. Over the past few years, Colombian farms have mastered all possible dyeing techniques, which has allowed them to significantly expand their range, offering a wide variety of colors and shades. Farms often produce special series of dyed hydrangeas for certain holidays, using colors symbolic for these holidays.
It has become very popular for farms to recreate the desired shade based on a customer's photo or an image of a dyed flower from the Internet.
Colombian growers pack hydrangea in QB (Quattro Box) boxes:
- 24 (+) сm QB x 15 stems
- 20-22 сm QB x 30 stems
- 18-20 сm QB x 35 stems
- 16-18 сm QB x 40 stems
- 9-12 сm QB x 60 stems
The specified packing rates are the most common. However, depending on the farm-grower, the number of stems per box may vary upwards or downwards.
Colombian hydrangeas are usually transported with small bags on stems. These bags usually contain a special solution that helps keep the flowers fresh during transportation. This is especially important for hydrangeas, as they require constant moisturizing to keep them from wilting.
This packaging allows flowers to remain fresh and beautiful all the way to their final destination. It is especially useful for long transportation, when flowers can be on the road for several days.
Hydrangea, both natural and dyed, should be ordered in advance. Depending on seasonal and current demand, orders are usually accepted at least 5-7 days before the expected departure date from Bogota airport, as most hydrangea farms are located in the Medellin area and same day delivery to Bogota airport is not possible. If you are using our floral delivery service to Amsterdam, orders for Sunday arrivals are accepted on Monday and orders for Tuesday/Wednesday arrivals are accepted on Thursday. For other destinations, our managers will always inform you of the best time to place your order to ensure its timely and complete execution.
