Description
Our Purple Nigella Love In A Mist brings one of the cottage garden's prettiest flowers indoors without any of the upkeep. Each purple nigella love in a mist head is surrounded by the fine, feathery bracts that give the plant its common name, and those delicate wisps have been recreated in soft, thread-like detail so the bloom appears to float within its own misty halo. The petals carry a gentle gradient of purple tones, while the papery texture and slightly cupped shape mirror the real flower closely enough to pass a second glance.
Standing 68cm tall with a natural spread of around 9cm, this artificial flower stem is made from plastic and finished with a slim green stalk topped by fine foliage. The stem bends easily, so you can angle the head and shape the arrangement to suit your vessel. Group three or five together in a tall glass vase for an airy country look, or slip a single stem among dried grasses, eucalyptus or other faux blooms to add height and a touch of colour. It works well in a hallway, on a kitchen windowsill or beside a bathroom basin where fresh flowers would struggle.
Because it needs no water, this stem holds its shape all year with almost no effort. Dust the petals and feathery bracts occasionally with a soft brush or a gentle shake, and reshape the stem whenever you refresh the display. The colour will not fade in daylight, and there are no petals to drop, so it stays looking full and neat season after season.

Frequently Asked
How realistic does this stem look?
Very. The purple petals carry a soft tonal variation and the fine, feathery bracts around each bloom have been recreated thread by thread, so it captures the misty, delicate character of the real flower.
How do I mix it into a display?
Group several together for a full country arrangement, or add one or two stems among dried grasses, eucalyptus or other faux flowers to lift the height and introduce purple. It suits both simple glass vases and mixed seasonal displays.
How do I clean it?
Dust it occasionally with a soft brush, a hairdryer on a cool setting or a gentle shake. Take care around the feathery bracts, as they are fine, and avoid soaking the stem.
Does it need water?
No. It needs no water at all, which makes it ideal for spots where fresh flowers would wilt, such as a hallway or bathroom. Simply position it and reshape as needed.
Will it shed or fade?
No petals will drop and the purple colour will not fade in daylight, so it stays looking full and fresh throughout the year.
