I remember seeing an article in one of Martha Stewarts books on how to dry hydrangea, but of course I can't find the magazine now. I remember her saying something
about dipping the ends in boiling water or something and then drying them in a vase. Do you know if this process is correct or is there more to it? Thanks

Nothing against Martha but, I disagree with her recommendations. Many people have written or talked to us in this regard.
Our recommendations:
First of all, not all Hydrangeas dry well. The two best are Pee Gee and Nikko Blue. Cut your Hydrangeas when the blooms are 80-90% full (i.e. the very tops will
not be open). Place them in an open, airy, dark place (for more details about drying see 'Drying Flowers - Overview' on our site). It is not necessary to hang them
upside down (they have a nice woody stem which will stay erect).
Good luck,
