Why do hydrangeas arrive like this?

We love working with hydrangeas! They make for stunning centerpieces and waterfalls, and they add glorious texture to any piece.
But we also recognize they can be finicky. From a horticultural standpoint, they're typically bred as a sterile bloom, meaning they don't help pollinators. And they often have to travel with additional plastics or require the use of floral foam.
