Description
This artificial chrysanthemum stem stands 96cm tall and spreads 29cm across, a single tall stem that branches into two open flowers and one closed bud. The flowers are pink, with fringed, frilled petals layered thickly around a full centre, and each head sits just above a veined, crinkled leaf. A further leaf grows lower on the main stem, and the long, bare length beneath it gives a good reach for a tall vase. It weighs only 0.1KG, so it sits lightly in an arrangement and is easy to reposition.
At this height it is a stem for a floor vase or a tall table vase rather than a small jar. On its own in a slim bottle vase it draws a quiet line on a mantelpiece, a hall console or a bedroom chest of drawers, while several together fill a wide vessel on a dining table or sideboard. It also mixes well with other faux stems and dried grasses, where its frilled pink heads bring softness among spikier shapes. Because artificial flowers never wilt, it suits places where fresh flowers struggle or would need frequent replacing, such as a dim hallway, a reception desk or a holiday cottage visited only now and then.
The stem is made from 80% polyester, 10% iron and 10% polyethylene. The maker asks that it is trimmed and folded into place before use, so allow a few minutes to open out the leaves and settle each flowerhead at the angle you prefer before it goes into the vase. Once it is arranged, handle it with care, as the leaves and flowerheads can break if treated roughly. The styling props shown are not included. For a natural look, turn the two open flowers to face slightly different ways and keep the bud angled outwards, so the stem looks freshly cut from a cottage garden.
