Description
This blue papaver poppy spray brings the soft charm of poppies indoors without any of the upkeep. Each stem carries several open blooms alongside tighter buds, giving you the natural progression you would find in a freshly picked bunch. The petals have the crinkled, papery quality that real poppies are known for, with delicate veining and gently ruffled edges that catch the light. A dusting of blue across the petals reads convincingly from across the room, while up close you will notice the subtle tonal shifts that stop it looking flat or overly uniform.
Standing 58cm tall with a spread of around 15cm, this artificial flower stem suits both slim bud vases and fuller mixed arrangements. The plastic construction keeps the shape holding well over time, and the stem can be bent slightly to angle the heads where you want them. Try grouping three or more together for a generous display on a console table, or pair a single spray with dried grasses and foliage for a looser, more relaxed look. The blue tone works nicely against neutral ceramics, clear glass, or deeper coloured vessels for a bit of contrast.
Caring for it could not be simpler. There is no need for water, so you can place it anywhere including spots that would be tricky for real blooms. Dust the petals occasionally with a soft brush or a gentle shake to keep them looking fresh, and avoid prolonged direct sunlight to help the colour stay true. With the odd bit of attention it will look good year after year.

Frequently Asked
Does it look like a real poppy?
Yes, the petals have the crinkled, papery texture and gentle veining that real poppies are known for, and the mix of open blooms and buds makes it look freshly picked.
How should I style it in a vase?
It works well grouped in threes for a fuller display, or as a single stem mixed with dried grasses and foliage. The blue tone suits neutral ceramics, clear glass, and darker vessels alike.
How do I clean it?
Dust the petals occasionally with a soft brush or give the stem a gentle shake. Avoid soaking it, as the plastic petals only need light surface cleaning.
Does it need water?
No, there is no need for water at all. This means you can place it in spots that would be difficult for live flowers.
Will it shed or fade?
The petals stay in place and will not drop. To keep the blue looking its best, keep it out of prolonged direct sunlight.
