Hydrangea flowers, when cut, dehydrate easily and wilt very quickly due to the large surface area of the petals. A wilted hydrangea may have its hydration restored by first having its stem immersed in boiling water; as the petals of the hydrangea can also absorb water, the petals may then be immersed, in room-temperature water, to restore the flower's hydration.

Hydrangea Vanilla Strawberry (Hydrangea Paniculata), A Flowering Plant, The "Beast" Raised Garden Bed, Eugene, Oregon

A sweet treat for the garden! Vanilla Strawberry panicle hydrangea has big, cone-shaped blooms of white and pink. True to its name, the vivid strawberry-pink color develops as the blooms age, and starts at the bottom, for a shaded look. We recommend growing Vanilla Strawberry with at least some sunshine each day to improve its stem strength. A very nice addition to a flower garden![from hydrangea.com]

Hydrangea flower color can change based on the pH in soil. As the graph depicts, soil with a pH of 5.5 or lower will produce blue flowers, a pH of 6.5 or higher will produce pink hydrangeas, and soil in between 5.5 and 6.5 will have purple hydrangeas.[from widipedia]
