Description

This faux stem stands 54cm tall and measures 8cm across, topped with a single tight flower head built from layered, overlapping bracts that curl gently outward at their tips. Two long, deeply cut leaves branch from the slim purple stem, one finishing in a small curled tendril, and the bracts shade through soft purple tones, so the head has real depth rather than one flat colour. It is made from 90% polyethylene and 10% iron and weighs just 0.14KG, light enough to lift from one vase and settle into another whenever the mood changes.

Because it is faux, it needs no water and will not wilt, which makes it a good choice for the places fresh flowers struggle: a dim hallway shelf, a mantelpiece, a bedroom windowsill or the corner of a desk. Stand it alone in a slim vase for a sculptural, slightly architectural look, or tuck it into a mixed bunch of faux or dried stems, where the rounded head gives the arrangement a firm focal point among softer flowers. It suits anyone who loves the look of garden stems but would rather not change the water every few days, and it makes a thoughtful small gift for a new home or a friend who enjoys arranging flowers.

The maker asks that it be handled with care to avoid breaking the leaves or the flower head, and before use the stem should be trimmed and folded into place. In practice that means cutting it to the height your vase needs and gently shaping each leaf so it sits the way you want. Polyethylene is a light, flexible plastic, so take your time and shape the leaves in small, gentle movements. Our styling tip: choose a vase with a narrow neck and a little weight, and let the head sit just above the rim so the leaves fall to either side.

Frequently Asked

How tall is the stem?

It stands 54cm tall and measures 8cm across, a good height for a medium vase, and you can trim the stem shorter for a smaller one.

What material is it?

It is made from 90% polyethylene and 10% iron, and it weighs 0.14KG, so it is easy to move between vases and rooms.

Does it need any preparation before use?

Yes. The maker says the stem should be trimmed and folded into place before use, so cut it to suit your vase and shape the leaves gently.

Does it need water?

No. As a faux stem it needs no water at all, so you can display it in any vase you like and it will not wilt.

Is the vase included?

No, you receive the single stem only; the styling props shown are not included, so pair it with a vase of your own choosing.

How should I handle it?

Handle it with care, as the maker advises, to avoid breaking the leaves or the flower head, especially when folding them into place.
