The artichoke is a showstopper in any garden, with its bold, thistle-like flower heads. This faux artichoke stem captures that sculptural shape in a deep mulberry wine shade. It's richer and warmer than a classic purple, and brings autumn and winter colour to your home.

At 66cm, it's tall enough to stand alone in a slim vase for a simple, striking arrangement, with no fuss or florist skills needed. Gather a few in a large jug, or mix them with faux eucalyptus and hydrangeas for a fuller, garden-gathered display. It never wilts or needs water, so you can enjoy it through Christmas and long after.

Team it with our Autumnal Eucalyptus Stem, whose purple-toned leaves pick up the mulberry shade beautifully, or let it stand alone in a Single Stem Glass Vase.
