A classic mophead hydrangea in deep purple, its rounded head built from dozens of individually shaped petals that graduate from violet at the centre to wine at the edge. The real-touch finish gives each petal a soft, yielding texture with a faint sheen — the combination that reads as freshly cut rather than manufactured.
Deep purple hydrangeas carry a room. Use a pair in tall fluted vases to frame a fireplace, float one head in a shallow bowl with candles for a dinner party centerpiece, or combine purple, pink and white hydrangeas at staggered heights for a lush, garden-fresh display that needs nothing else. They also anchor wedding styling beautifully — pew ends, head tables, entrance urns.
Because the head sits on a wired stem, you can tilt it toward the room instead of leaving it facing the ceiling, the way a good florist always does. It will hold that pose and its saturated colour indefinitely — no watering, no wilting between seasons.
