{"product_id":"tall-black-poppy-stem","title":"Tall Black Poppy Stem","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCaring 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.\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\u003eBlack\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\u003e83cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19cm\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 the poppy look?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe petals have a crinkled, papery texture with fine veining and ruffled edges, closely following the form of a real poppy.
