I am so excited to share Dollar Hydrangea with you today! They sell bulk hydrangeas delivered to your door for $55 for 50 stems. I was completely skeptical… until I ordered them for myself.
These are the fresh white hydrangeas, but there are a few other options as well, including fresh blue and mini green. You set the delivery date when you place the order and, if I remember correctly, options were Tuesday-Friday.
They arrive in a large box, with each flower head individually wrapped, and each stem in a small baggie of water. They arrived cool, and I made sure to be home so that they didn’t send one extra minute in the blazing 95 degree heat that day. It took some time to unpack them, but I did so right away and filled a large bucket. (see photo above)
I ordered these to use as decor for the Welcome Back Teacher Luncheon at Whit’s school. Fifty-five stems go a LONG way. I made 24 small arrangements, each with just two stems.
And, I decorated two cakes with the extra seven! The luncheon was the day after the flowers arrived and they were still in mint condition. They were quite thirsty and I had to refill every single jar about 18 hours after I first made the arrangements. I took that as a very good sign!
I brought home a few after the luncheon – there were plenty to go around – and have enjoyed them! These pictures were taken two days after they arrived.
The picture below was just taken at 10 days after I received the hydrangeas! Wow! Most of them were tossed but these two are still hanging in. I had to replenish the water every single day, which was crazy. Most flowers I fill up once and then they really don’t drink any more. I just change it to keep it fresh.
I will definitely order these for future events and also think they would be great for gifts – you could easily make 10 great sized arrangements for $55 and many more smaller ones for even less. I think I’m going to do the small green option with red roses for Christmas.
While on the topic of flowers, you can watch my arranging tips in this video:

I’m officially signing off for the weekend! It’s 90-something outside and pool o’clock.

Would you show us your Christmas arrangement with the red roses? I think that is a great idea but would not know how to make it
Yes, great idea!
Wow! The hydrangea’s are beautiful! Thanks for the post and information. I’m looking them up now!
Thanks for this information. I’m doing the flowers for an October 9th wedding (grandaughter’s) and this is a great resource. Any other tips you may have will be appreciated. I’ll be going back and reviewing your party and entertaining tips.
Btw, love the Mr. Peanut man. I remember seeing him in an earlier post or two. Do you think he is still available?
Oh gosh, I don’t know. I’ll tell my mom to look out for the peanut man and will let you know!
