Description
This is a single artificial protea stem in beige, made to look like the large open flowerhead of a real protea. The head is 20cm across, built from layer upon layer of pointed petals that curl outward around a domed centre, and the whole stem stands 76cm tall, with a few broad leaves gathered beneath the bloom. At that height it reads as a proper cut flower rather than a sprig, and one stem has enough presence to fill a vase alone. It is made from 80% polyester, 10% iron and 10% polyethylene.
As a faux stem, it needs no watering and will not wilt, so it can live in the places where fresh flowers struggle or simply never get replaced. Stand it in a tall vase on a sideboard, a hall console or the end of a dining table, or give it a spot on a bedroom chest of drawers or a living room shelf. It suits anyone who wants flowers in the house all year without buying a new bunch every week, and it works as well in a sparse, single-stem display as it does mixed into a fuller faux or dried bouquet. The soft beige sits easily beside natural wood, linen, rattan and stone.
The care note asks for gentle handling, because the leaves and flowerhead can break if they are treated roughly. Before use, the stem must be trimmed and folded into place, so take a few minutes to shape the leaves and set the angle of the head once it is unpacked. It is light, at 0.114KG, which makes it an easy fit for a slender vase. The styling props shown are not included. For a simple look, stand it alone in a tall, narrow vase so the full 20cm head sits clear of the rim; for something fuller, gather it with eucalyptus and grasses in quiet, neutral tones.
