Description
This cream allium spray brings the rounded, globe-like heads of a garden allium indoors without any of the upkeep. Each bloom is built from dozens of tiny star-shaped florets that cluster together into a soft sphere, giving that gentle burst of texture alliums are known for. The cream tone keeps things calm and easy to place, and the closer you look the more the individual petals reveal their slight variation in shade and shape, which is what stops this artificial flower stem from looking flat or uniform.
Standing at 60cm tall, the stem is slim and upright, so it slots neatly into a tall vase or a narrower bottle where a single line of interest works best. Group three or five together for a fuller cluster, or mix the cream allium spray with dried grasses, faux eucalyptus or a few seasonal stems for contrast in height and colour. It suits a hallway console, a mantel or a bedside table, and works just as well in a modern setting as it does in a softer country-style room. The plastic construction holds its form well, and the stem can be gently bent to angle the head or fan out an arrangement.
Care is straightforward. There is no water needed, so you can place it anywhere without worrying about spills or wilting. Dust the florets occasionally with a soft brush or a light shake to keep them looking fresh, and store the stem upright when not in use to protect the shape. With no petals to drop, it stays looking the same across the year.

Frequently Asked
Does it look like a real allium?
Yes, the head is made up of many small florets with subtle shading differences, so from a normal viewing distance it reads as a genuine allium rather than a solid moulded ball.
How should I style it?
Use it singly in a tall slim vase, or group several for a fuller display. It mixes well with dried grasses, faux foliage and other stems where you want varied height and a soft cream accent.
How do I clean it?
Dust the florets now and then with a soft brush or give the stem a gentle shake. Avoid soaking it, as that is not needed and can mark the finish over time.
Does it need water?
No. This is an artificial flower stem, so it needs no water or feeding and can sit in an empty vase or alongside other faux arrangements.
Will it shed or fade?
There are no loose petals to drop, so it will not shed. Keeping it out of strong direct sunlight helps the cream colour stay consistent for longer.
