Description
This artificial hydrangea stem carries one full, rounded head of cream florets, packed closely so the flower reads as a soft dome from every side. Two broad leaves sit just beneath the head, and the long stem has small knots along its length, much like the woody stem of a real shrub. It measures 15cm across and 56cm tall and weighs 0.06KG, light enough to stand in a slim vase as happily as in a wide one. It is made of 80% polyethylene, 10% iron and 10% fabric.
At 56cm tall, a single stem suits a tall vase on a hallway console, a mantelpiece or the corner of a dresser, where the cream head gives a soft point of colour without crowding the space. On a bedside table or a desk it brings the look of a garden flower indoors, and because an artificial bloom does not wilt, it is a sensible choice for a guest room, a holiday home or a busy kitchen where keeping fresh flowers is a chore. Gather several stems together for a fuller arrangement on a dining table or a sideboard, or pair one with dried grasses for a looser, country feel.
Before use, the stem needs to be trimmed and folded into place, which gives you some control over the finished look: cut it to the height your vase needs, then fold the leaves and florets until the head sits just as you would like. Handle it with care, as the leaves and flowerheads can break if treated roughly. The styling props shown are not included. For styling, we like it best against a plain wall, where the cream florets stand out clearly and the knotted line of the stem can be seen.
