Description
This green banksia stem brings the sculptural shape of the Australian native indoors without any of the upkeep. Each cone-shaped bloom is built from tightly packed florets, layered so densely that the texture reads as genuine from across a room. The green colouring runs through the whole flowerhead, with subtle tonal shifts that echo the way a real banksia looks as it develops. Slim foliage sits along the stem, giving the piece a natural balance rather than a flat, top-heavy silhouette.
Standing at 59cm tall, this artificial flower stem works well on its own in a tall vase or grouped with others for a fuller look. The stem is plastic and holds its form, so you can angle the head where you want it and keep it there. Pair it with dried grasses, eucalyptus or paler blooms to let the green banksia stem carry the structure of a display, or mix several together for something bolder. It suits hallway consoles, mantelpieces and dining tables, and copes happily in bright rooms where fresh flowers would wilt or fade too quickly.
Care could not be simpler. There is no water to change and no drooping to worry about, so the stem stays looking the same week after week. Dust it occasionally with a soft cloth or a gentle blast from a hairdryer on a cool setting to keep the florets clear. Reshape the stem when you rearrange your vase, and store it upright or laid flat when not in use so the head keeps its shape.

Frequently Asked
Does it look like a real banksia?
Yes. The cone-shaped head is made from densely packed florets with tonal green shading, so the texture and shape closely match the natural flower.
How do I style it with other stems?
It works as a structural piece alongside dried grasses, eucalyptus or softer blooms. Group two or three together for a fuller vase, or let one stand alone for a simpler look.
How do I clean it?
Dust it now and then with a soft cloth, or use a hairdryer on a cool setting to lift dust from between the florets.
Does it need water?
No. Being artificial, it needs no water and no maintenance beyond the occasional dusting.
Will it shed or fade?
The florets are firmly attached and will not drop, and the green colour holds well, including in bright rooms where fresh flowers would fade.
