Description
Our purple elatum delphinium brings the tall, spired shape of a classic garden favourite indoors without any of the upkeep. This artificial flower stem carries dozens of small florets clustered along an upright spike, each bloom shaped with softly ruffled petals in deep and lighter shades of purple. The layered petals catch the light much as fresh delphiniums do, and the slim leaves running up the stem add a natural green counterpoint to the flowers. At 78cm tall, it gives real height to a display and reads convincingly from across a room.
The stem suits hallway consoles, dining tables and mantelpieces where you want a bit of vertical lift. Group three or five together in a tall vase for a fuller cottage-garden look, or pair a single purple elatum delphinium with softer, rounder blooms such as roses or peonies to balance the pointed silhouette. It works well alongside foliage stems and grasses too, giving structure to a mixed arrangement. The plastic construction holds its form, and the stem can be trimmed to sit at the right level for your chosen vessel.
Care is simple, as this is a faux flower and needs no water at all. Dust the florets and leaves occasionally with a soft brush, a hairdryer on a cool setting, or a gentle wipe to keep the colour looking fresh. Kept out of harsh direct sun, the purple tones stay true over time, and because the petals are moulded rather than fabric, there is nothing to drop or shed onto your surfaces.

Frequently Asked
Does it look like a real delphinium?
Yes. The florets are moulded with ruffled petals and shaded in two tones of purple, and the leaves follow the stem naturally, so it reads convincingly at close range and from a distance.
How should I style it in a vase?
Group several stems in a tall vase for a cottage-garden feel, or mix a single stem with rounder blooms and foliage to balance its upright, spired shape.
How do I clean it?
Dust the florets and leaves now and then using a soft brush, a cool hairdryer, or a gentle wipe. This keeps the petals looking bright.
Does it need water?
No. This is an artificial flower stem, so it needs no water and no other maintenance beyond occasional dusting.
Will the petals shed or fade?
The petals are moulded plastic rather than fabric, so nothing drops off. Kept away from strong direct sunlight, the purple colour holds well over time.
