Description
Our burgundy carnation stem brings the ruffled charm of a garden favourite indoors without any of the upkeep. This artificial flower stem features a single deep red carnation head crowded with layered, fringed petals, each one gently frilled at the edge to mimic the natural texture of the real bloom. The colour runs from a rich burgundy at the heart to slightly lighter tones toward the outer petals, giving the head a sense of depth that catches the light in the same way a fresh flower would.
Standing at 56cm tall with a spread of 10cm, the stem is made from durable plastic and finished with slim green foliage running along the length. It works beautifully on its own in a narrow bud vase, or gathered into a fuller display. Try grouping several burgundy carnation stems together for a bold splash of red, or mixing them with softer neutral blooms and trailing greenery for contrast. They suit a hallway console, a dining table centrepiece, or a bedroom windowsill, and the deep tone pairs well with both dark and pale interiors.
Caring for this stem is straightforward. There is no need for water, so you can place it anywhere without worrying about spills or wilting. Simply dust the petals occasionally with a soft cloth or a gentle blast from a hairdryer on a cool setting to keep the bloom looking fresh. The stem can be bent slightly to sit at the angle you prefer within an arrangement, making it easy to shape around other flowers.

Frequently Asked
Does it look like a real carnation?
Yes. The fringed, layered petals and the graded burgundy colouring closely follow the look of a fresh carnation, and the texture holds up well at close range.
How do I style it with other flowers?
Group a few together for a bold red display, or pair with paler blooms and greenery. It also works alone in a slim bud vase for a simple look.
How do I keep it clean?
Dust the petals now and then with a soft cloth, or use a cool hairdryer setting to lift dust from between the fringed layers.
Does it need water?
No. This is an artificial flower stem, so it needs no water and no other maintenance beyond occasional dusting.
Will it shed or fade?
The petals are securely attached and will not drop. Kept out of strong direct sunlight, the burgundy colour stays true over time.
