You can find folding instructions for the Hydrangea (including a number of variants) in Fujimoto’s book, Folding Origami Hydrangea (おりがみあじさい折り).

There are also free diagrams made by John Smith available online (PDF).

If you prefer a video tutorial, you can find several on YouTube: I can recommend the one by Sara Adams.

A specific case of a dense, level-1 Hydrangea Tessellation is the Crossed Box Pleat, instructions for which you can find on Thoki Yenn’ site (also available in print).
