Description
This is a single artificial amaryllis stem in white, modelled on the bulb flower that so often comes indoors at Christmas. At the top sits a cluster of wide, open blooms with softly ruffled petals and fine stamens, with a closed bud tucked among them, all carried on one long, smooth stem. It stands 74cm tall and measures 23cm across the flowers, so it has real presence in a vase rather than getting lost among other greenery. It is made from 80% polyester, 10% iron and 10% polyethylene with a colour-dyed finish, and it weighs just 0.12KG.
At its full 74cm, one stem suits a tall vase or a glass bottle on a sideboard, hall table or mantelpiece, where a single upright flower reads clearly from across the room. Several stems gathered together make a fuller Christmas arrangement for the centre of a dining table or a deep windowsill. Because the maker says the stem is trimmed before use, you can also cut it down to suit a shorter vase on a bedside table or a desk. As an artificial stem it needs no water, so it is a good fit for anyone who wants the look of a winter amaryllis on display through the festive weeks without buying and replacing fresh flowers.
The maker's care note asks for two things. Handle the stem gently, as the leaves and flower heads can break, and before use trim it and fold the blooms into place, so allow a few minutes after unpacking to open out the petals and angle the heads the way you want them. For styling, white flowers look crisp against dark evergreen branches or bare twigs, and a clear glass vase lets the whole length of the stem show. In a lighter vase, a handful of pebbles or sand in the base helps a tall single stem stand straight.

Frequently Asked
How tall is the amaryllis stem?
It is 74cm tall and 23cm across the flowers, and the maker says the stem is trimmed before use, so you can cut it down for a shorter vase.
What is the artificial amaryllis made from?
It is made from 80% polyester, 10% iron and 10% polyethylene, with a colour-dyed finish, and the whole stem weighs 0.12KG.
Does it need water in the vase?
No. It is an artificial stem, so it needs no water and can stand in a dry vase or bottle for as long as you want it on display.
Is it ready to display straight out of the box?
Almost. The maker says the stem should be trimmed and the blooms folded into place before use, and that it should be handled with care so the leaves and flower heads do not break.
What do I receive with one order?
You receive one artificial amaryllis stem with its open white blooms and a closed bud; grouping several stems in one vase gives a fuller Christmas display.
