Description
This Autumn Ruby Hydrangea brings a warm, deep red bloom into the home without any of the upkeep that fresh flowers demand. As an artificial hydrangea, it is built from moulded plastic petals that mimic the clustered, papery texture hydrangeas are known for. Each small floret sits within a rounded mophead, giving the flower head real depth and a natural sense of fullness when you look at it from any angle.
The single stem stands 42cm tall with a bloom that measures 18cm across and 18cm deep, making it a good fit for a slim vase on a windowsill, a mantel, or a side table in the hallway. The rich ruby tone suits autumn and winter dressing, and it pairs well with darker foliage or paler accents to let the colour hold its own. Group several stems together for a fuller display, or keep a single stem where you want a quieter touch of colour. The plastic construction means the petals keep their shape and shade far longer than a cut bloom.
A faux hydrangea asks nothing in the way of watering or trimming, so there is no wilting and no mess to clear up. The stem can be gently bent to angle the head, and it settles happily into a vase, jug or mixed arrangement alongside other faux stems. To keep it looking fresh, simply dust the petals now and then. Kept away from harsh direct sunlight, the colour stays true for years of use.

Frequently Asked
Does it look like a real hydrangea?
Yes. The moulded petals copy the clustered florets and papery texture of a fresh bloom, and the rounded mophead shape gives it depth so it reads as natural on the shelf or in a vase.
Can I arrange it with other stems?
You can. The stem sits easily in a vase or jug on its own, or mix it with other faux stems and foliage for a fuller display.
How do I clean it?
Dust the petals gently with a soft cloth or a light brush every so often. Avoid soaking the flower, as it is not made for washing.
Does it need water?
No. As a faux hydrangea, it needs no watering, trimming or feeding, so there is no wilting and nothing to clear away.
Will the red colour fade?
Kept out of harsh direct sunlight, the ruby tone stays true for years. Strong, constant sun can dull any coloured material over time, so a spot away from full glare is best.
