River Gum Eucalyptus Spray, Green or Red 78cm Faux Stem

Colour:
In stock
Sale price$15.99

River gum leaves are long and sickle shaped, hanging rather than standing, which is what gives an arrangement that loose native movement rather than a tidy florist line. This spray runs 78cm and comes in two tones that behave quite differently.

Green is a soft, muted eucalyptus that reads as a calm neutral. Red is warmer and deeper, closer to autumn, and it carries colour into an arrangement without needing a flower to do it.

River gum is a eucalyptus, so you may also know it as red river gum, gum, or simply native eucalyptus. All the same leaf.

Which colour should I choose?

Green for light, neutral palettes and calm, fresh styling. Red when you want depth and warmth, or when an arrangement is all cream and needs something to anchor it.

How many stems do I need?

Two or three in a large sculptural vase makes a statement on its own. One or two is enough as filler through a fuller bouquet.

What does it pair with?

Banksia, bunny tails and bleached ruscus for a native look. It is also a good soft filler to balance larger blooms in a wedding or event arrangement.

Why you will love it

  • Two tones: soft sage green or a warm reddish brown
  • Long, sickle shaped leaves with natural hang and movement
  • Works in native, coastal and minimalist rooms alike
  • Tall 78cm reach for a large vase or a layered bouquet
  • Easy to style alone or mixed through dried and faux arrangements

Details

  • Height: 78cm
  • Colours: Green or Red
  • Use: indoor styling
  • Care: dust lightly as needed
  • Sold individually

Styling tips

  • Two or three stems in a large sculptural vessel from our vase collection, and nothing else in it.
  • Mixed with dried style stems from our artificial flora range for a native arrangement.
  • Red through an otherwise cream arrangement, where it does the job a flower usually would.
  • Green on a kitchen bench or console, as a quiet green line.
  • As soft filler to balance larger blooms from our faux flowers range.

Gifting

Three stems and a tall vase makes a considered gift, and the red is the one to choose if you want it to read as a present rather than a houseplant. Get in touch for a custom arrangement.

The takeaway

A 78cm faux river gum eucalyptus spray in soft green or warm red, with long sickle shaped leaves that hang and move. Also searched as red river gum or native eucalyptus, it suits tall vases, layered bouquets and native leaning styling.
