Description
This long fennel stem brings the soft, feathery look of fresh fennel into your home without any of the upkeep. Each frond is made up of fine, wispy needles that spray outwards in the same airy way the real herb does, giving the stem a gentle, cloud-like fullness. The green tones shift slightly across the plumes, avoiding the flat uniform look that gives away lesser fakes, and the slim central stalk holds the branches in a natural, slightly staggered arrangement. Standing 76cm tall with a spread of 26cm, it has enough presence to fill a tall vase while keeping that light, open texture.
An artificial flower stem like this works well on its own in a slim glass vessel, where the delicate fronds can be seen clearly, or grouped in threes and fives for a fuller display. It mixes happily with faux grasses, dried seed heads and bolder blooms, adding height and a feathery counterpoint to rounder shapes. Try it in a hallway console, on a kitchen shelf or as part of a larger arrangement on a dining table. The plastic construction keeps each frond in shape, and the stem can be trimmed with secateurs to suit shorter vases if needed.
Caring for it is simple. There is no water to change and no wilting to watch for, so it stays looking fresh season after season. Dust the fronds occasionally with a soft brush or a gentle shake outdoors to keep the fine needles clear. Kept away from strong, constant sunlight, the green colour holds well and the plumes stay full year after year.

Frequently Asked
Does it look like real fennel?
Yes. The fine feathery fronds and the varied green tones closely mimic fresh fennel, and the staggered branching gives it a natural, airy shape rather than a flat, obvious fake.
How do I style the long fennel stem?
It suits a slim vase on its own or grouped in odd numbers for fullness. Pair it with faux grasses, dried seed heads or rounder blooms to add height and a soft, feathery contrast.
How do I clean and dust it?
Dust the fronds now and then with a soft brush, or give the stem a gentle shake outdoors. Avoid soaking it, as the plastic needs only light dusting to stay looking fresh.
Does it need water?
No. As an artificial flower stem it needs no water and no feeding, so you can arrange it and leave it in place without any maintenance.
Will it shed or fade?
The fronds are firmly attached and will not shed. Kept out of strong, direct sunlight, the green colour holds well over time.
