Dried Clematis Seed Head Spray 115cm | Faux Botanical
Some of the most beautiful things in nature happen after the flower is gone. The dried Clematis Seed Head Spray captures that precise moment, the point at which clematis finishes blooming and transforms into something altogether more sculptural. Five wispy, skeletal seed heads sit atop a fine branching stem in warm natural tones, each one a tangle of thread-fine filaments radiating from a dark centre. It is botanical in the truest sense, and it requires nothing from you.
At 115cm, this faux stem has the quiet authority of something foraged and brought inside. The dark brown stem and cream-to-beige seed heads read as genuinely dried, particularly when placed alongside real or preserved botanicals. It carries that same undone quality that makes dried arrangements so compelling, organic, unforced, and somehow more considered for it.
Clematis seed heads, known in the wild as old man's beard or traveller's joy, are among the most sought-after elements in dried and foraged arrangements. Their feathery texture catches light beautifully and adds movement to any vase or vessel. This faux version holds that quality indefinitely, with no shedding, no brittleness, and no seasonal replacement required.
For a fuller arrangement, pair with a faux pampas grass stem, faux dried bunny tails, or a trailing faux eucalyptus from the Flux Boutique botanical range. The natural colourway also works beautifully layered into a dried botanical arrangement alongside real preserved grasses and seedpods.
Please note: As with all faux botanicals, slight variation in colour and form may occur between stems, adding to the natural, organic character of the product.
Alternate common names: Clematis seed heads are also known as old man's beard, traveller's joy, and virgin's bower.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this stem look like a real dried clematis? The skeletal seed head structure and dark branching stem are designed to closely replicate the appearance of naturally dried clematis. Placed in a considered arrangement, it is difficult to distinguish from the real thing.
How tall is the Dried Clematis Seed Head Spray? This stem is 115cm in height, making it well-suited to floor vases, tall urns, and oversized vessels. It can be carefully trimmed to fit shorter arrangements if needed.
Can I mix this with real dried botanicals? Yes, and it is particularly well-suited to mixed arrangements. The natural tones and skeletal form blend seamlessly with real dried pampas, preserved grasses, bunny tails, and seedpods.
Will the seed heads shed or fall apart over time? Unlike real dried clematis, which can be fragile and prone to shedding, this faux version is designed to hold its shape and texture indefinitely with minimal care.
Can the stem be shaped or repositioned? Yes. The internal wire structure allows branches to be gently bent and repositioned to suit your arrangement.

STYLING TIPS
- Place in a tall ribbed ceramic, terracotta, or dark stoneware floor vase and allow the branches to fan out naturally. The skeletal seed heads need space to be appreciated.
- Layer two or three stems in a wide-mouthed vessel alongside real dried pampas, preserved bunny tails, or dried lunaria for an arrangement that looks genuinely foraged.
- The warm natural tones suit interiors with linen, raw timber, rattan, and woven textures. Position near a window so the filaments catch the light.
- For a minimal, Japandi-inspired arrangement, a single stem in a simple tall vessel is enough. The sculptural form does all the work.
- Style on a mantle, in an entry nook, or as part of a bedside vignette alongside a small stack of books and a ceramic object for an understated seasonal moment.
