Description
This purple allium stem brings the round, pom-pom heads of a real allium into your home without any of the seasonal fuss. Each globe is made up of dozens of tiny star-shaped florets, packed tightly together to form the sphere shape that gives alliums their charm. The florets carry a graduated purple tone, deeper towards the centre and softer at the tips, which is exactly how the flower catches the light in a summer border. From a step or two away, this artificial flower stem reads as the genuine thing.
Standing at 75cm tall, the single long stem is slim and upright, finished in a green tone that mimics the natural stalk. It suits tall vases where the height can be shown off, and works well grouped in odd numbers of three or five for a fuller look. Mix it with faux grasses, eucalyptus or trailing greenery to soften the round heads, or let a cluster stand alone in a narrow glass vessel for a cleaner display. The purple allium stem sits happily in hallways, on mantelpieces or as a centrepiece for a dining table.
Care is straightforward. There is no need for water, so you can place it anywhere without worrying about spills or trimming. Dust the florets occasionally with a soft brush or a gentle shake to keep them looking fresh. The plastic construction holds its shape well and the colour will not fade in daylight the way cut flowers do, giving you a display that lasts year after year.

Frequently Asked
Does it look like a real allium?
Yes. The globe is built from many small florets in graded purple tones, so the shape and colour closely match a fresh allium head, especially from a short distance.
How should I style it?
Group three or five stems in a tall vase for impact, or mix single stems with faux grasses and greenery to add contrast in height and texture.
How do I clean it?
Dust the head occasionally with a soft brush or give it a light shake. Avoid soaking it, as the plastic only needs surface cleaning.
Does it need water?
No. It is entirely artificial, so it needs no water and no trimming, and you can place it wherever suits your room.
Will it shed or fade?
The florets are securely attached and will not drop, and the purple colour will not fade in daylight, so the display stays consistent over time.
