Description
This pink vernicia fordii spray brings the soft charm of tung tree blossom indoors without any of the upkeep of fresh cut flowers. Each bloom is moulded and hand-finished to mirror the real thing, with five gently cupped petals that fade from a deeper pink at the base to a paler blush along the edges. Fine detailing runs through the centre of every flower, and small buds sit among the open blooms just as they would on a living branch. The leaves carry a natural vein pattern and a subtle sheen, so the whole artificial flower stem reads as genuine from across a room.
Standing 63cm tall with a width of 10cm and a depth of 22cm, this spray suits taller vases, hallway consoles and mantelpieces where a little height adds interest. Group three or five stems together for a fuller look, or mix the pink vernicia fordii spray with foliage stems and a few white blooms for contrast. It works well in ceramic jugs, glass bottles and woven baskets, and pairs happily with dried grasses if you want a softer, more textured display. The branching form fills space without crowding, so a single stem is enough for a slim bud vase on a bedside table.
Care could not be simpler. There is no water to change and no wilting to watch for. Dust the petals and leaves occasionally with a soft brush or a gentle shake, and the stem will keep looking fresh year after year. The wired branches can be bent and angled a little to help your arrangement sit exactly how you like it.

Frequently Asked
Does it look realistic?
Yes. The petals are shaped and shaded like real tung blossom, with veined leaves and small buds among the open flowers, so it looks convincing at close range and from across a room.
How do I style it with other stems?
Group several together for a fuller display, or mix it with green foliage, white blooms or dried grasses. It suits taller vases, jugs and baskets on consoles, mantelpieces and side tables.
How do I clean it?
Dust the petals and leaves now and then using a soft brush or a light shake. Avoid soaking it, as it is made to sit dry rather than in water.
Do I need to add water?
No. This is an artificial flower stem, so there is no water to top up and nothing to wilt. Simply arrange it and leave it in place.
Will it shed petals or fade?
The blooms are securely attached, so it will not drop petals in normal use. Keeping it out of strong direct sunlight helps the pink colour stay bright over time.
