Switched from a standard bucket to a tall one for my hydrangeas

The blooms used to droop over the edge and get crushed, but the extra 6 inches of height keeps them upright and perfect. Anyone have a good source for those tall black buckets in bulk?

Is that extra height really solving the problem? Those stems are still weak and will just flop over inside the taller bucket. You need to support the stems themselves, not just raise the sides.

Man, that's like putting a band-aid on a broken leg.

David's right, it's a common fix that misses the point.
