Description
This is a single artificial peony stem in cream, standing 62cm tall and spreading 23cm across at its widest. It carries one fully open bloom, layered with ruffled petals around a frilled centre, and a closed bud on a shorter side stem just above it, with leaves set along the upper part of the stem. It is made from 80% polyester, 10% iron and 10% polyethylene, and the whole stem weighs just 0.05KG. Being artificial, it needs no watering and will not wilt, so you can enjoy a peony in any month of the year.
At 62cm tall, it has the height for a tall vase or a jug on a hall console, a sideboard or a mantelpiece, where one stem on its own is enough to catch the eye. Because it is so light, it also suits a slim bud vase on a bedside table, a windowsill or the corner of a desk. Cream sits quietly beside most colours, so it fits a pale, neutral room as easily as one with richer furnishings. Use it on its own, add it to other stems to fill out a bouquet, or group a few together for a fuller arrangement.
The maker asks that it be handled with care, since the leaves and flowerheads can break, and says the stem must be trimmed and folded into place before use. In practice, that means cutting the stem to suit your vase and gently shaping the leaves, bud and bloom so they sit as you want them. Once it is arranged, leave it in place rather than moving it often. Set it slightly off centre in a clear glass bottle so the long, slender stem shows, or let it lean from a wide-necked vase so the open bloom faces the room.
