Description
Our Silver Wattle Leaf brings a soft, feathery greenery to any display without the upkeep of the real thing. This faux foliage stem carries the fine, frond-like leaves that give wattle its recognisable look, with slender leaflets fanning out along the branches in a cool silver tone. Seen up close, the leaves have a delicate, almost dusted finish that catches the light gently, so the whole stem reads as fresh cut rather than something taken from a box.
Standing 73cm tall with a spread of 22cm, the silver wattle leaf gives you plenty of height and volume to work with. Slot a single stem into a tall vase for a pared-back look, or group two or three together to fill a wider vessel. It sits happily alongside deeper greens, frosted eucalyptus or paler blooms, and the silver colouring lends itself well to winter and festive styling on a mantel, sideboard or dining table. The plastic construction means it holds its shape through the season and beyond, ready to bring out year after year. Bend and angle the branches to fan the foliage where you want it, then adjust the stem length to suit your chosen container.
Caring for this faux foliage stem could not be simpler. There is no need for water, no wilting and no dropped leaves to sweep up. Give it an occasional dust with a soft cloth or a light going-over with a hairdryer on a cool setting to keep the leaflets looking crisp. Kept out of harsh direct sunlight, the silver finish stays true, so your arrangement looks as good in spring as it did the day you set it out.

Frequently Asked
Does the silver wattle leaf look realistic?
Yes. The fine, feathery leaflets are moulded and coloured to mimic real wattle foliage, with a soft dusted silver finish that reads as fresh when placed in a vase or grouped in an arrangement.
How do I style it with other stems?
It pairs well with frosted eucalyptus, deeper greens and paler blooms. Use a single stem in a tall vase for a simple look, or cluster a few together to add height and volume to a larger display.
How do I clean the foliage?
Dust the leaflets occasionally with a soft dry cloth, or use a hairdryer on a cool setting to lift dust from the finer fronds. Avoid water and harsh cleaning products.
Does it need water or any special care?
No water is needed. The branches are bendable, so you can angle and shape them to suit your vessel. Keep it away from strong direct sunlight to protect the silver colouring.
Will it shed or fade over time?
The plastic leaves are fixed to the stem and will not drop like fresh foliage. Kept out of prolonged direct sun, the silver tone holds well, so it can be used across many seasons.
