Description
This black velvet poinsettia faux plant brings a deep, dramatic bloom to the festive season, and it will never wilt or need water. Each broad, pointed bract is soft velvet with a shiny finish, picked out along its edge with a fine line of gold glitter, and the layered head opens around a cluster of glittered gold stamens at its centre. It sits on a single slim stem wrapped in brown, so it reads as one generous flower rather than a spray. It stands 52.5cm tall, and the flower head is 24cm wide and 15cm deep, which is enough to hold its own in a vase.
Black and gold is a confident pairing for Christmas, and this poinsettia suits a mantelpiece, a hall table or a dining table where you want something darker than the usual red. Set it alone in a tall bud vase for a clean, modern look, or tuck it among dark foliage and gold baubles in a wider vessel. At 52.5cm it is tall enough to stand upright in a large arrangement or to lie along a garland on a shelf. It also makes a thoughtful Christmas gift for a home that leans towards deeper colours.
The velvet bracts are layered around the glittered centre and the stem is neatly wrapped in brown, so it looks finished from every side of the room. Being faux, it needs no water or light, which makes it easy to place on a dim shelf or in a hallway. Keep it dry, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth, and store it in a box between seasons so the bracts keep their shape. Our Elsquith poinsettia looks best with a little space around it, so give it a vase of its own and let the gold edging catch the glow of the fairy lights.
