Description
Our cream carnation stem brings the ruffled charm of one of the best loved garden flowers indoors, without any of the upkeep. The bloom is built from layer upon layer of finely cut petals, each with the slightly frilled edge that gives real carnations their soft, feathery look. Set in a warm cream tone, the flower head sits neatly at the top of a slender green stem lined with narrow leaves, so the whole thing reads as freshly picked at a glance.
Standing 56cm tall with a width of 10cm and a depth of 11cm, this artificial flower stem suits a tall vase on a mantel, a hallway console or a kitchen windowsill. Group three or five together for a fuller show, or mix it into an existing arrangement alongside greenery, roses or wildflower stems to add body and a paler note. The cream shade works well against both dark ceramics and clear glass, and it settles easily into any room in the house. The bendable stem lets you angle the head and adjust the height to fit your chosen container.
Because it is made from plastic, this cream carnation stem needs no water and will not wilt, drop or fade in bright light. Simply dust the petals now and then with a soft brush or a gentle shake to keep them looking fresh, and reshape the stem whenever you rearrange your display. It is a lasting way to keep colour on show through every season.

Frequently Asked
Does it look like a real carnation?
Yes. The many layered petals have the frilled edges typical of a carnation, and the cream colouring is soft rather than flat, so it holds up well at close range as well as across a room.
How do I mix it into other displays?
Cluster a few stems for a rounded posy, or thread single stems through greenery and taller blooms to lighten the colour and add fullness. It pairs happily with both fresh looking faux flowers and dried textures.
How do I clean it?
Dust the petals occasionally with a soft brush, a hairdryer on a cool setting or a light shake. This keeps the cream tone bright and stops build up gathering between the layers.
Does it need water?
No. Being plastic, it never needs watering and will not wilt, so you can place it in a dry vase or arrangement and leave it be.
Will it shed or fade?
The petals are firmly attached, so there is no dropping to clear up, and the colour resists fading in normal indoor light for lasting use.
