Mini Berry Stem, 30 in

Clusters of small berries run down a thirty-inch stem, with the lower half left bare so it sits deep in a vessel without crowding the opening. The berries are plastic rather than coated foam, which means they hold their shape and their colour and will not chip at the edges the way painted foam does.

Three ways to use the colour. Red is the obvious one in late autumn. Blue is the quieter choice and works year-round against a neutral wall. The mixed stem carries both plus a few paler berries, and reads busier, so it wants a simpler container than the single colours do.

Sold as one, three or five stems. One is enough for a narrow bud vase; three fills a pitcher.
