Description
This pink cornflower stem brings the soft, ruffled charm of a summer meadow indoors without any of the upkeep. Each bloom is moulded and dyed to mimic the frilled, layered petals of a real cornflower, with narrow strands radiating out from a darker centre for a natural, just-picked look. The pink tone shifts gently across the petals, avoiding the flat, uniform colour that gives cheaper faux flowers away, while the slim green foliage runs along the length of the stem for added realism.
Standing at 77cm tall, this artificial flower stem suits tall floor vases, hallway urns and generous table arrangements alike. It works beautifully on its own for a simple, understated display, or mix several pink cornflower stems together for fuller volume. Pair it with grasses, seed heads or contrasting white blooms to build a relaxed, wildflower-style bunch. The wired stem can be gently bent and angled, so you can shape each stem to sit naturally within your chosen vessel and adjust the height by trimming where needed.
Because this is a faux stem, there is no watering, no wilting and no dropped petals to sweep up. Simply dust the petals and leaves occasionally with a soft brush or a gentle shake to keep them looking fresh, and keep out of prolonged direct sunlight to help the pink hold its depth over time. It offers the seasonal feel of fresh cornflowers all year round, ready to lift a shelf, mantel or windowsill whenever you like.

Frequently Asked
How realistic does this stem look?
The petals are layered and frilled to echo a real cornflower, with a graduated pink tone and slim green foliage along the stem, so it reads as natural from across a room and up close.
How should I style it in a vase?
It looks good alone in a slim vase or grouped in threes and fives for a fuller bunch. Mix it with grasses, seed heads or white blooms for a meadow-style arrangement.
How do I clean and dust it?
Dust the petals and leaves now and then with a soft brush, a hairdryer on a cool setting or a light shake. Avoid soaking it, as it is not designed to be submerged.
Does it need water or any care?
No water is needed. The stem is wired so you can bend and angle it to suit your display, and you can trim the base to adjust the height.
Will it shed petals or fade?
The petals stay put rather than dropping like fresh flowers. Keeping it out of strong, prolonged sunlight will help the pink colour stay rich for longer.
