Description
This is an artificial allium, a single stem topped with a round brown flower head made up of countless tiny florets packed tightly together. It stands 70cm tall and measures 9cm across, so it has the height for a tall vase and enough presence to hold its own as a single bloom. The stem is long and slender, and the head reads as a textured sphere rather than a flat flower, which is what gives an allium its look. It is made from polyethylene, iron and polyester, and weighs 0.5KG.
Because it is artificial, it needs no watering, which suits the spots where a fresh bunch would soon look tired: a sunny windowsill, a hallway console, a mantelpiece or an office shelf. A single stem in a tall, narrow vase gives a clean, graphic line on a sideboard or a bedside table. Mixed into a larger arrangement, the round brown head adds depth and texture among softer, paler flowers, much as a dried seed head would in a fresh bouquet. It suits anyone who likes flowers in the house all year but would rather not replace them every week.
The maker asks that it be handled with care, so the flower head is not damaged, and notes that before use the stem must be trimmed and folded into place. Treat that as part of arranging it: unpack it gently, trim the stem to suit your vase, then ease it into position so the head sits where you want it. The styling props shown are not included. For a relaxed look, pair it with flowers of different heights so the round head sits a little above the rest.

Frequently Asked
How tall is the allium stem?
It stands 70cm tall and measures 9cm across, which gives it enough height for a tall vase or to sit above other flowers in a mixed arrangement.
What is the artificial allium made from?
It is made from polyethylene, iron and polyester, and the single stem weighs 0.5KG as the maker gives it.
Does it need any preparation before use?
Yes. The maker notes that before use the stem must be trimmed and folded into place, so allow a few minutes to arrange it once unpacked.
How should I look after it?
Handle it with care. The maker asks for gentle handling to avoid breakage of the flower head, so move and arrange it carefully.
Is a vase included?
No. You receive the single artificial allium stem only, and the styling props shown are not included, so you will need a vase of your own.
What colour is the flower head?
The round flower head is brown, made up of many small florets that give it a soft, textured finish rather than a flat block of colour.
