Description
This is a single artificial foxtail stem, 73cm tall and 3cm across, topped by a long, tapering spike of tiny white florets that narrows to a fine, gently curved tip of small buds. Beneath the spike runs a slim bare stem, and near its base a cluster of long, narrow leaves fans out to either side. It is made from 80% polyethylene, 10% iron and 10% fabric, and it weighs just 0.063KG, so it is easy to move between vases and rooms whenever the mood changes.
At 73cm tall it has the height for a floor vase, or for a tall vessel on a sideboard, console table or mantelpiece, where its upright line draws the eye. One stem on its own in a slim bottle suits a hallway table, a bedside table or a windowsill, while several together make a fuller, airier spray for a living room or dining table. It also works well as the tall element in a mixed arrangement of dried or artificial flowers, adding height and a soft white texture. Because it is artificial it needs no water, so it suits anyone who would like flowers in the home without the upkeep of fresh ones.
The maker's care notes ask that the stem be trimmed and folded into place before use, so you can cut it to suit the height of your vessel and set the leaves and spike at the angle you prefer. Handle it with care, as the leaves and flowerheads can break if they are bent roughly. For a calm, simple look, stand three stems trimmed to slightly different heights in a tall clear glass bottle, or let a single stem lean from a stoneware vase on a console table.
