Description
This pale apricot fringed iris brings a soft, warm bloom into your home without any of the upkeep of fresh flowers. The main flower opens into ruffled, fringed petals in a gentle orange tone, with the frilled edges catching the light much the way a real iris does. The petal centres carry subtle veining and a slightly deeper hue towards the throat, so the colour reads as natural rather than flat. A slim bud and slender green leaves sit further down the stem, giving the whole piece a sense of a flower caught mid-bloom.
Standing at 83cm tall, this artificial flower stem suits taller vases on a hallway console, a mantelpiece or a dining table. The plastic stem is firm enough to hold its shape yet has a little give, so you can bend and angle the head to face the room. Group three or five stems together for a fuller vase, or mix this pale apricot fringed iris with dried grasses, faux eucalyptus or a few white blooms for a looser, more relaxed arrangement. It works equally well as a single stem in a narrow bottle vase where the fringed petals can be seen clearly.
Care is simple. There is no need for water, so you can place it anywhere without worrying about drips or wilting. Dust occasionally with a soft cloth or a gentle blast from a hairdryer on a cool setting to keep the petals looking fresh. Kept out of harsh, direct sunlight, the colour holds well over time, and the stems can be rearranged whenever you fancy a change.

Frequently Asked
Does it look like a real iris?
Yes. The fringed petals are shaped and coloured to mimic a fresh iris, with soft veining and a warm apricot-orange tone that avoids looking plastic from a normal viewing distance.
How do I style it with other stems?
It mixes well with faux foliage, dried grasses or a few paler blooms. Use three or five stems for a full vase, or display a single stem in a slim vase to show off the fringed head.
How do I clean it?
Dust the petals now and then with a soft cloth, or use a cool hairdryer setting to lift dust from the frilled edges and leaves.
Does it need water?
No. Being artificial, it needs no water at all, so you can place it in a dry vase or anywhere around the home.
Will it shed or fade?
It does not shed petals like a fresh flower. Kept away from strong direct sunlight, the orange colour stays true for a long time.
