Description
This is a single artificial hydrangea stem: a rounded head of many small purple florets on a long, slender stem, with two broad leaves set just beneath the bloom. It stands 44cm tall and the flowerhead is 20cm across, so it reads as a generous, full bloom rather than a sprig. It is made from iron, polyethylene and PVC, and the petals are colour-dyed, which gives the florets their shaded, softly varied look. At 0.02KG it weighs almost nothing, so it adds no real weight to a vase.
One stem is tall enough to stand alone in a medium vase on a sideboard, a hall table or a mantelpiece, and it works just as well tucked into a larger arrangement of faux stems, adding a rich purple note among softer tones. Because it never wilts, it suits the places where cut flowers struggle or get forgotten: a bedroom shelf, a home office, a guest room that sits empty for weeks at a time. Hydrangeas carry an autumn and winter feel, and this one sits comfortably with warm wood, brass and tinted glass.
The maker's care note is short and worth following. Before use, the stem should be trimmed and folded into place: cut it to suit the height of your vase, then ease the leaves and florets open by hand so the head looks full and the leaves angle outward. Handle it gently while you do this, because the leaves and flowerheads can break if they are forced. Once it is arranged, it needs nothing more from you, which makes it an easy way to keep a vase filled all year. The styling props shown are not included. For a relaxed look, set a single stem at a slight lean in a wide-shouldered vase so the head tips to one side, or group three stems trimmed to differing heights for a fuller, layered display.
