Description
This mauve foxglove brings the tall, tapering spire of a cottage garden favourite indoors without any of the upkeep. Each stem carries a graduated run of tubular blooms, wide and open near the base and closing to tight buds at the tip, just as the real flower grows. The petals have a soft matte finish with gentle purple shading and the subtle freckled throat that gives foxgloves their character, so the effect reads as genuine rather than glossy or flat.
Made from durable plastic, this artificial flower stem stands 11cm and slots neatly into mixed arrangements or works in a small posy on its own. Group several together for that natural clustered look, or pair the mauve foxglove with softer greenery, trailing stems and paler blooms to build height and depth in a vase. It suits a kitchen windowsill, a hallway console, a bedside table or a dressing table, and the purple tone sits well against both neutral ceramics and darker glass. Because the blooms hold their shape, you can angle and position each spire to fill gaps in a display.
Care is simple. There is no water needed, so no changing, topping up or clouding vases to worry about. Dust the petals occasionally with a soft dry brush or a gentle shake to keep the colour fresh, and keep it out of prolonged direct sunlight to protect the purple shade over time. Adjust the stem within your arrangement whenever you fancy a change.

Frequently Asked
Does it look like a real foxglove?
Yes. The tubular blooms are graduated from open flowers to closed buds along the spire, with matte purple petals and freckled throats that mirror the growing habit of a real mauve foxglove.
How do I style it with other flowers?
Cluster a few stems for a natural look, or mix this artificial flower stem with greenery and paler blooms to add height. It works in vases, posies and mixed displays across most rooms.
How do I keep it clean?
Dust the petals occasionally with a soft dry brush, or give the stem a gentle shake. Avoid soaking it, as the plastic only needs light dusting to stay looking fresh.
Does it need water?
No. There is no water needed at all, so you can display it in a dry vase or alongside other faux stems without any maintenance.
Will it shed or fade?
The blooms are fixed to the stem and will not drop petals. To keep the purple colour at its best, keep it away from prolonged direct sunlight.
