Description
Our Green Safflower Spray brings the soft, thistle-like charm of safflower indoors without any of the upkeep. Each stem carries a cluster of rounded green buds surrounded by fine, spiky bracts, mimicking the way real safflower forms its tight little heads before they open. The tapering foliage runs along the length of the stem in a fresh, muted green, giving this artificial flower stem the kind of natural variation you would expect from a freshly cut garden pick.
Standing at 57cm tall, this green safflower spray works well in taller vases where its height can be shown off, or trimmed shorter for a more compact posy. The stem is made from plastic and holds its shape nicely, so you can angle the branching sprigs to fill out an arrangement or lean it against the rim of a jug for a looser, foraged look. Mix it with other faux blooms in cream, blush or deeper burgundy tones to add texture, or group several stems together for an all-green display on a mantel, hallway console or kitchen windowsill.
Because it needs no water, this stem suits spots where fresh flowers would struggle, from bright sills to dim corners. Keep it looking its best with an occasional dust, using a soft cloth or a gentle blast from a hairdryer on the cool setting to lift any particles from the tight buds and foliage. There are no petals to drop and no colour to fade in the way real flowers wilt, so it stays fresh year after year.

Frequently Asked
Does it look like real safflower?
Yes, the rounded green buds and spiky bracts are shaped to match the real plant, and the muted green foliage gives it a natural, garden-picked feel rather than a glossy artificial one.
How should I style it?
Group several stems for an all-green look, or mix it with faux blooms in cream, blush or burgundy for contrast. It suits tall vases, jugs and posies alike.
How do I clean it?
Dust it occasionally with a soft dry cloth, or use a hairdryer on a cool setting to lift particles from the buds and foliage without damaging the finish.
Does it need water?
No, it needs no water at all. Simply arrange it in a vase and leave it, which makes it ideal for spots where fresh flowers would not last.
Will it shed or fade?
There are no loose petals to drop, and the green colour will not fade the way cut flowers wilt, so it stays looking fresh over time.
