Description
This orange echinacea spray brings the warmth of a late-summer border indoors without any of the upkeep. Each bloom is modelled on the coneflower, with softly ruffled petals that fold back from a raised central cone, just as the living plant does as it matures. The petals carry a gentle two-tone finish, warm orange fading towards a paler blush at the tips, so the flower reads as natural rather than flat. A cluster of buds and part-open heads sits alongside the fuller blooms, giving the spray the varied look you would find on a real stem.
Standing 75cm tall with a spread of 13cm and a depth of 23cm, this artificial flower stem suits a tall vase on a hallway console, a kitchen windowsill or a dresser in the sitting room. The green foliage runs along the length of the stem, adding body low down where an arrangement often looks bare. Group three or five together for a generous display, or slot single stems among dried grasses, eucalyptus and other faux blooms to build a mixed vase with height and movement. The orange tone works well with cream, rust and deep green surroundings.
Made from plastic throughout, the spray needs no water and will not wilt or drop its petals. The stem is wired inside, so you can bend and angle the heads to sit how you like within a container. To keep it looking fresh, dust the petals and leaves occasionally with a soft cloth or a gentle blast from a hairdryer on the cool setting.

Frequently Asked
How realistic does the echinacea look?
The petals are shaped and colour-graded to copy a real coneflower, with a raised central cone and a mix of full blooms and smaller buds along the stem for a natural effect.
How do I mix it into a display?
Group several sprays for a fuller vase, or combine single stems with dried grasses, eucalyptus and other faux flowers. The orange sits happily against cream, rust and green.
How do I clean it?
Dust the petals and leaves now and then with a soft dry cloth. For heads that are harder to reach, use a hairdryer on the cool setting to lift any dust.
Does it need water?
No. This is an artificial flower stem, so it needs no water and no other care beyond an occasional dust.
Will it shed petals or fade?
The petals are fixed to the stem and will not drop. Kept away from strong direct sunlight, the orange colour holds well over time.
