Description
This is a single artificial eucalyptus stem in pink, 100cm tall and 35cm across at its widest spread. A long, slender main stem rises bare for much of its height before branching into a loose head of narrow, curving leaves, each finely striped along its length, with clusters of small round buds dotted between them. The stem is 80% polyester, 10% iron and 10% polyethylene, and the whole piece weighs just 0.074KG, so it gives an arrangement height without adding real weight to the vase.
At its full 100cm, this is a stem for a tall floor vase or a deep basket, and it brings height and movement to a mixed bouquet of faux flowers. The leaves fall in soft curves, softening the outline of rounder blooms such as hydrangeas or dahlias and filling the gaps between them. Use it on a sideboard, a hallway console or a mantelpiece, or let one stem stand alone in a slim vase for a quieter look. An artificial stem needs no watering, so it suits a spot where fresh greenery would struggle, such as a dim landing or a shelf out of reach.
Before it goes on display, the maker asks you to trim the stem and fold the branches into place, so it pays to take a little time shaping each one. Cut the stem to suit your vase: leave most of the length for a floor vase, or take it shorter for a table arrangement. Handle it gently, as the maker notes the leaves can break, and give it a spot where it will not be knocked often. As a styling note, set it slightly off centre at the back of a bouquet and bend its tips outward, so the pink leaves arch over the other flowers and draw the eye upward.
