Description
This white lilac stem brings the soft, clustered beauty of springtime blooms into your home without any of the upkeep. Each flowering head is made up of dozens of tiny four-petalled florets packed closely together, giving the same full, frothy look that fresh lilac is known for. The petals carry a gentle matte finish rather than a shiny plastic sheen, and small buds are dotted among the open blooms to mimic the way real lilac flowers at different stages along the branch.
Standing at 75cm tall with a spread of around 30cm, this artificial flower stem has enough presence to fill a tall vase on its own or to join a wider arrangement. The green leaves branch off along the length in the familiar heart shape, adding a natural touch of contrast against the white blooms. Try grouping three or five stems together in a ceramic jug for a relaxed country look, or pair a single stem with eucalyptus and paler grasses for something lighter. It suits a hallway console, a mantelpiece or a dressing table, and the bendable stem lets you angle the head to sit just right in your chosen vessel.
Caring for it could not be simpler. There is no water to change and no wilting to worry about, so it keeps its shape all year round. Dust the petals occasionally with a soft brush or a gentle shake outdoors, and reshape the stem whenever you rearrange your display. With no direct sunlight beating down on it, the white finish stays bright for a long time.

Frequently Asked
Does it look like real lilac?
Yes. The tightly clustered florets, the mix of open blooms and closed buds, and the matte petal finish all work together to closely resemble fresh lilac at a normal viewing distance.
How do I style the white lilac stem?
Group several together in a jug for a full display, or mix a single stem with foliage such as eucalyptus and softer grasses. It works well in tall vases on consoles, mantelpieces and side tables.
How do I clean it?
Dust the blooms now and then with a soft brush, a hairdryer on a cool setting, or a gentle shake outside. This keeps the white petals looking fresh.
Does it need water?
No. As an artificial flower stem it never needs water and will not wilt, so you can arrange it and leave it in place.
Will it shed or fade?
The petals are secured to the head and will not drop like real blooms. Kept away from strong direct sunlight, the white colour holds well over time.
