Description
The Italian White Bellflower brings soft, trailing blooms to any room without the upkeep of fresh cut flowers. This artificial flower stem carries clusters of bell-shaped white petals, each one gently cupped and slightly ruffled at the edges to mimic the way real bellflowers open along a stem. The petals catch the light in the same delicate way, with a faint sheen and subtle shading near the centre that keeps them from looking flat. Slim green leaves run along the length, adding contrast and a natural sense of movement.
Standing 63cm tall with a spread of around 30cm, the Italian white bellflower suits tall vases, jugs and floor pots where its length can be shown off. Group three or more stems together for a fuller look, or mix them with darker foliage and a few contrasting blooms for a more relaxed, gathered-from-the-garden feel. It works well in hallways, on mantelpieces, dressers and windowsills, and pairs happily with both painted ceramics and clear glass. The stem is bendable, so you can adjust the angle of the head and shape the arrangement to fit your container.
Care could not be simpler. There is no need for water, no wilting and no dropping petals to sweep up. An occasional dust with a soft cloth or a light shake outdoors keeps the blooms looking fresh. Kept out of strong, direct sunlight, the white colour holds well over time, so this artificial flower stem stays looking its best season after season.

Frequently Asked
Does it really look like a real bellflower?
Yes. The bell-shaped petals are shaped and shaded to copy real blooms, with a slight sheen and ruffled edges that read as natural from a normal viewing distance.
How should I style it with other stems?
Group a few together for volume, or mix with darker foliage and contrasting flowers in a tall vase or jug. The white petals sit well against both bold and neutral surroundings.
How do I keep it clean?
Dust the petals and leaves occasionally with a soft dry cloth, or give the stem a gentle shake outdoors. Avoid soaking it, as it does not need water.
Does it need any water or feeding?
No. It is fully artificial, so there is no watering, feeding or trimming required. Simply arrange it and leave it in place.
Will it shed or fade?
The petals stay attached and will not drop. Kept away from strong direct sunlight, the white finish holds its colour for a long time.
