{"product_id":"large-green-protea","title":"Large Green Protea","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis large green protea brings one of nature's most striking blooms into your home without any of the upkeep. The central flower head is built from layers of pointed petals that fan outward in the way a real protea opens, with a slightly waxy sheen and gentle colour shading that moves from a soft sage at the tips to a deeper green at the base. The bracts hold their shape well and the foliage running along the stem carries fine veining and a matte finish, so the overall effect reads as fresh cut greenery rather than a flat imitation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStanding 73cm tall with a width and depth of 21cm, this artificial flower stem has real presence and works best where it can be seen from several angles. Pop a single stem into a tall glass vase for a pared-back look, or group two or three with paler blooms and trailing eucalyptus for a fuller arrangement. The green tones sit happily alongside neutral ceramics, brass containers and dried grasses, making it easy to slot into a hallway console, a kitchen worktop or a bedroom shelf. The stem is plastic and holds firm while still allowing a little adjustment to the angle of the head.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCaring for the large green protea is refreshingly simple. There is no need for water, no dropped petals to sweep up and no wilting to worry about. Dust the petals and leaves occasionally with a soft cloth or a light brush to keep the colour looking crisp, and reposition the head as your display changes through the seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlower\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProtea\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGreen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlastic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e73cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it look like a real protea?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
