{"product_id":"purple-cornflower-stem","title":"Purple Cornflower Stem","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis purple cornflower stem brings the meadow indoors without any of the upkeep. The blooms carry the frilled, fringed petals that make real cornflowers so recognisable, with fine ray-like tips fanning out from a tightly gathered centre. The purple tone runs deep at the heart and softens slightly towards the outer edges, giving the flower heads a natural sense of depth rather than a flat, printed look. Slim green leaves run along the length of the stem, and the whole thing has the wispy, slightly wild character of cornflowers picked from a summer field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade from plastic and standing 77cm tall with a 20x20cm spread, this artificial flower stem holds its shape well and works in taller vessels where you want a bit of height. Group three or five stems together in a jug for a relaxed, gathered feel, or slot a single stem into a mixed arrangement alongside other faux blooms and dried grasses. The purple sits nicely with whites, soft pinks and plenty of greenery, so it mixes easily into displays you already have on a mantel, windowsill or hallway console.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCare could not be simpler. There is no water to change and no wilting to worry about, so it keeps its look right through the year. Dust the petals and leaves occasionally with a soft cloth or a gentle blast from a hairdryer on a cool setting to keep them fresh. The stem can be bent and angled a little to help you arrange it, letting you fan the heads out or draw them together depending on the vase you choose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlower stem\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePurple\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlastic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e77cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it look like a real cornflower?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
