{"product_id":"purple-lilac-stem","title":"Purple Lilac Stem","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis purple lilac stem brings the soft, clustered blooms of springtime into your home without any of the upkeep. Each flower head is made up of dozens of tiny four-petalled florets, packed together into the plump cone shapes that give real lilac its familiar look. The petals carry a gentle graduation of purple tones, deeper towards the centre and lighter at the tips, which stops the artificial flower stem from looking flat or uniform. Slim green leaves sit along the branch, adding contrast against the purple and softening the overall shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStanding 75cm tall with a spread of around 30cm, this stem works well in a tall vase on a hallway console, a mantelpiece, or a kitchen worktop where fresh flowers would quickly wilt. The plastic stem is firm but bendable, so you can angle the branch and adjust the leaves to suit your vase or fill a gap in a wider display. Group two or three together for a fuller effect, or mix the purple lilac stem with white blooms and trailing foliage to build a looser, garden-gathered arrangement. It sits happily in a single-stem bud vase too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it needs no water, there is nothing to top up and no mess to clear away. Dust the blooms occasionally by giving them a gentle shake or a light pass with a soft brush, and keep the stem out of strong, direct sunlight over long periods to help the purple stay true. Reshape the petals with your fingers if they flatten during storage.\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\u003e75cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30cm\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\u003eHow realistic does it look?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe clustered florets and graduated purple tones mimic the shape and colour of real lilac, and the green leaves add a natural touch.
