Description
This tall black poppy stem brings a moody, graphic touch to any room without the upkeep of fresh flowers. The bloom is shaped to mimic the crinkled, papery quality of a real poppy petal, with subtle veining and gently ruffled edges that catch the light. A deep matte black finish gives the flower a bold look, while the slim central stem and slender leaves keep the whole piece feeling natural rather than heavy. Standing at 83cm tall, this artificial flower stem makes a fine choice for taller vases and floor-standing arrangements.
Made from durable plastic, the stem is built to hold its shape year after year. It works beautifully on its own in a narrow bottle vase, or grouped in threes and fives for a fuller display. Mix it with paler dried grasses, eucalyptus or lighter faux stems to soften the contrast, or keep things dramatic by pairing several black poppies together in a ceramic urn. The tall black poppy stem suits a hallway console, a mantelpiece, or a dining table centrepiece where its height can be appreciated. The bendable stem lets you angle the bloom and adjust the overall shape to fit your chosen container.
Caring for this stem is straightforward. There is no need for water, no wilting and no dropped petals to sweep up. Dust it occasionally with a soft cloth or a gentle blast from a hairdryer on the cool setting to keep the petals looking fresh. Because the stem can be shaped and repositioned, you can refresh your arrangement whenever the mood takes you.

Frequently Asked
How realistic does the poppy look?
The petals have a crinkled, papery texture with fine veining and ruffled edges, closely following the form of a real poppy. From a short distance it reads as genuine, and the matte black finish adds to the effect.
Can I mix it with other stems?
Yes. It pairs well with dried grasses, eucalyptus or lighter faux blooms, and looks striking grouped with several black poppies together in a single vase.
How do I clean and dust it?
Wipe the petals and leaves gently with a soft dry cloth. For hard to reach spots, a cool hairdryer setting or a soft brush will lift dust without damaging the surface.
Does it need water?
No. This is an artificial flower stem, so it needs no water and no feeding. Simply place it in your chosen vase and leave it be.
Will it shed petals or fade over time?
The plastic construction means it will not drop petals or wilt. Keeping it out of strong, constant sunlight will help the black colour stay rich for the long term.
