The first hectare of white hydrangea ever planted in Antioquia was planted here, at San Isidro. 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 natural white that made us pioneers to thirty-six tone families and twenty-three airbrush painting techniques, applied by hand, stem by stem, by our own artists.
Every tinted hydrangea passes through the hands of our airbrush artists. They mix colors and combine techniques to create blends, gradients and finishes no natural flower can offer, and they can develop custom creations for your design or brand. Send us a Pantone, a photo or a palette and they bring it to life.

We grow flowers with passion · San Isidro, since 1997
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.
Four habits that take a hydrangea from seven days to two weeks in the vase.
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.
