Description
This hydrangea artificial stem brings the full, rounded heads of a garden hydrangea indoors in a fresh green. It stands 49cm tall and spreads 28cm across, a generous size for a single stem: tall enough to rise well clear of a medium vase and wide enough to fill its mouth on its own. One straight main stem branches into several shorter stems, each finished with a dense, domed flowerhead of many small florets, with broad leaves in a deeper green beneath the blooms. It is made from polyethylene, iron and polyester and weighs only 0.11KG, so it sits lightly in even a slim vase.
Because a faux stem does not wilt, it suits the places where fresh flowers struggle or get forgotten: a hall console, a bookshelf, a sideboard in the dining room or the windowsill of a spare bedroom. One stem in a stoneware or earthenware jug makes a full, relaxed arrangement on a kitchen table or a desk, and two or three together in a wide bowl or a large vase give a bigger display for a mantelpiece. The green reads soft and slightly vintage, so it sits happily beside natural wood, linen and grey or stone-coloured ceramics, and it works the whole year round rather than for one season.
The care advice is short and practical. Handle the stem gently, as the leaves and flowerheads can break if treated roughly. Before use, trim the stem to suit your vase and fold the stems, leaves and flowerheads into place, shaping each head so it faces the way you want. For the most natural look, cut it so the lowest leaves rest just at the rim, angle the outer flowerheads slightly away from the centre and pair it with a textured, matt vase; the styling props shown are not included.

Frequently Asked
How big is the hydrangea stem?
It stands 49cm tall and spreads 28cm across at its widest, so a single stem suits a medium vase or jug and fills the mouth of one on its own.
What is the artificial hydrangea made from?
It is made from polyethylene, iron and polyester, and it weighs only 0.11KG, so it sits easily in a slim vase without feeling top heavy.
Do I need to do anything before arranging it?
Yes. The maker advises trimming the stem and folding it into place before use, so take a moment to shape the leaves and flowerheads until it looks full and natural.
Does it come with a vase?
No. You receive the single green hydrangea stem on its own, and the styling props shown, including the vase, are not included.
How should I look after it?
Handle it with care, as the leaves and flowerheads can break if treated roughly; gentle handling when arranging or moving it keeps it looking its best.
