Description
This light purple chrysanthemum brings a soft wash of colour to any room without asking for a drop of water. The bloom is built from row upon row of slender petals that curl inward towards the centre, mimicking the layered, pom-pom shape of a real chrysanthemum in full flower. Each petal carries a gentle gradient, deeper towards the heart and paler at the tips, so the head catches the light much like the fresh version would on a bright windowsill.
Standing at 54cm tall, this artificial flower stem is moulded from plastic with a firm central stalk and a scattering of green leaves along its length. The leaves have veining and a matt finish rather than a plastic sheen, which keeps the overall look believable at close range. Use it as a single stem in a narrow bud vase, or gather several light purple chrysanthemum stems into a fuller display alongside whites, greens and dusky pinks. It sits happily in a hallway, on a mantelpiece or across a dining table, and pairs well with both dried grasses and other faux blooms for a mixed arrangement that never wilts.
Caring for it is straightforward. There is no water to change and no feeding to remember, so it stays looking the same from one month to the next. Simply dust the petals occasionally with a soft brush or a gentle shake to keep them fresh. Trim the stem to your preferred height if you need it shorter for a particular vase, and store it upright when not in use to protect the shape of the head.

Frequently Asked
Does it look like a real chrysanthemum?
Yes. The many-layered petals and the soft colour gradient from centre to tip give it a natural shape, and the matt leaves avoid the shiny look that gives cheaper faux stems away.
How should I style it?
It works as a single stem in a bud vase or grouped with other faux flowers. Mix it with whites, greens and dried grasses for a fuller display, or cluster several together for a bolder show of purple.
How do I clean it?
Dust the petals every so often with a soft brush, or give the head a gentle shake. For a deeper clean, wipe the leaves lightly with a barely damp cloth and let them dry.
Does it need water?
No. It needs no water, feeding or sunlight, so you can place it anywhere in the home and simply leave it be.
Will it shed or fade?
The petals are moulded rather than glued, so they will not drop. Kept out of strong direct sunlight, the light purple colour holds well over time.
