Using Flowering Shrubs as Centerpieces

Hydrangea make a great cut flower. Their generous blooms make a full arrangement from a single stem. Their large, broad leaves work great as bases for arrangements as well.

I am not lucky enough to have my own hydrangea shrub, but I did buy a branch at a local flower market for my dining room table. Other flowering branches that work great as arrangements include forsythia, quince, crabapple, cherry and many varieties of dogwood.
