Description
This cream safflower spray brings the soft, thistle-like charm of the safflower plant into your home without any of the upkeep. Each stem carries a cluster of rounded blooms, their tightly packed petals opening into the fringed, slightly ruffled heads that give real safflower its texture. Finished in a warm cream tone, the flowers sit against slim green foliage that runs along the branching stem, adding a natural sense of movement. As an artificial flower stem, it reads convincingly from across a room and holds up well to closer inspection thanks to the layered petal detail.
Standing 57cm tall, the stem is made from durable plastic and works on its own or grouped in a fuller display. Place a few sprays in a tall ceramic vase for a relaxed country look, or mix them with darker seed heads and grasses for contrast. The cream tone pairs easily with muted greens, soft pinks and neutral pottery, so it settles into most rooms. Try it on a hallway console, a kitchen windowsill or a bedroom dresser where fresh flowers would be awkward to keep.
Caring for this cream safflower spray is simple. It needs no water and no direct sunlight, so it stays looking full all year round. Dust the blooms occasionally with a soft brush or a gentle shake to keep the petals crisp. The stem can be bent lightly to adjust the angle within an arrangement, letting you shape it to suit your chosen vase or bunch it with other stems.

Frequently Asked
How realistic does the safflower spray look?
The blooms have fringed, ruffled heads and layered petals that mirror real safflower, and the cream colouring is soft rather than flat, so it looks natural both from a distance and up close.
How should I style it with other stems?
It mixes well with dried grasses, seed heads and muted florals. Group three or more sprays for a fuller vase, or add one or two to an existing arrangement for texture and a lift of cream.
How do I clean and dust it?
Give the blooms a gentle shake or brush over the petals with a soft, dry brush now and then. Avoid water and harsh cleaners, which can mark the plastic.
Does it need water or any care?
No water is needed. Keep it out of strong direct sunlight to protect the colour, and an occasional dust is all it takes to keep it looking fresh.
Will it shed or fade over time?
The petals are fixed to the stem and will not shed. Kept away from prolonged direct sun, the cream tone holds its colour for years.
