Three decades devoted to a single flower. Fifteen hectares, fifty pairs of hands, fifty thousand stems every week — shipped by air and sea to twelve countries.
Located in La Ceja, Colombia, San Isidro is a family-owned hydrangea boutique grower. For more than three decades — driven by our founder Daniel Piedrahita's commitment to excellence — we have mastered the growth of exquisite white hydrangeas across fifteen hectares of the Antioquian highlands.
Today a new generation carries the legacy forward, combining tradition with artistry: airbrush techniques that turn our white blooms into more than two hundred and fifty captivating colors.
From the pure white that made us pioneers to thirty-six tone families and twenty-three airbrush painting techniques, applied by hand, stem by stem.
Rows planted by hand on the Antioquian hillside, harvested at dawn and packed the very same day.
Our commitment to quality and sustainability, in figures.
Start with a clean vase and fresh room-temperature water. Check daily, add floral preservative if you wish, and change the water every two or three days to prevent bacteria.
Keep at 15–21 °C (60–70 °F), away from direct sunlight, heat and drafts. A gentle misting of the petals helps maintain humidity.
Trim stems at a 45° angle with sharp shears, remove submerged leaves, and re-cut about an inch every two or three days for better water absorption.
Submerge wilted heads in room-temperature water for twenty to thirty minutes, then re-trim the stems. Be patient — they regain their freshness.
Our farm runs on one hundred percent renewable solar energy and has been herbicide-free for over eighteen years. We use biological pest control, harvest rainwater and dedicate a tenth of our land to biodiversity conservation.
We provide decent, fair jobs for more than fifty workers. Fifty-five percent of our team — and seventy percent of our leadership — are women, including seventeen heads of household.
