Fennel Artificial Stem - White

Description

DescriptionThis is a single artificial fennel stem in flower, 66cm tall and 14cm across at its widest, with one long stem that branches into two heads of tiny white florets. Each head is an open, umbrella-like cluster, the shape for which fennel is known, built from many small bunches on fine spokes, with jagged-edged leaves set just beneath. It is made from 90% polyethylene and 10% iron and weighs only 0.03KG, so it is easy to lift in and out of a vase or move between rooms.
At 66cm it is a tall stem, so it suits a floor vase, a jug or a tall bottle on a sideboard, a mantelpiece or a hall table, where the two heads can spread at different heights. On its own it gives a loose, meadow look; gathered with other dried or artificial stems it adds airy white sprays among larger blooms in a mixed bouquet. It sits well in a living room, a bedroom, a hallway or on a dresser, and as an artificial stem it will not wilt, which makes it useful for a dark corner of a room or a shelf that gets little light.
The maker asks that it is handled with care, because the leaves and flowerheads can break, and that the stem is trimmed and folded into place before use. In practice that means cutting the stem to suit the height of your vase and gently bending the side stem and leaves until the two heads sit where you want them. The styling props shown are not included. For a natural look, let one head stand higher than the other and lean the stem slightly off centre in a narrow-necked vessel, so the flowers seem freshly picked rather than arranged.
