Burgundy Real Touch Sunflower Bundle of 6 stem - 13 Inch

The Story

Rich, dramatic color has a way of changing the entire feeling of an arrangement, and this burgundy sunflower bundle does exactly that. The velvety petals are layered in deep burgundy with subtle wine undertones surrounding textured centers, creating a look that feels refined rather than rustic. While inspired by the warmth of late summer and fall, the depth of color transitions beautifully into winter and holiday decorating, making this a bundle you'll find yourself reaching for long after autumn has passed.

The premium Real Touch petals give each bloom a remarkably lifelike appearance, while the flexible wired stems allow you to gently shape the flowers into a naturally gathered bouquet. Whether displayed on their own in a petite vase or layered with branches, berries, or seasonal florals, this bundle creates instant richness without feeling overdone.

Designed as both a focal flower and movement bundle, these realistic sunflowers create beautiful depth, color, and softness in petite arrangements while blending effortlessly with complementary florals and greenery.

Climate & Care Considerations

This bundle performs beautifully in climate-controlled indoor environments.

Because these sunflowers feature premium True Bloom Real Touch petals, we recommend avoiding prolonged direct sunlight, excessive heat exposure, outdoor use, and direct moisture. This helps preserve the rich dark orange coloring, realistic petal texture, and overall appearance of the blooms.

This particular stem is not recommended for consistently humid or damp environments. Customers who live in areas with high humidity or who plan to display florals in bathrooms, near showers, steam rooms, saunas, or other areas where moisture regularly collects should choose a different location for this bundle. Prolonged exposure to humidity and steam may cause the pigment in the Real Touch petals to transfer or bleed over time.

When storing the bundle, gently wrap the blooms in clean tissue and keep them separate from white, cream, blush, or other lighter-colored florals whenever possible. Avoid stacking heavier stems directly on top of the blooms, as this helps preserve their shape while also preventing any potential color transfer during long-term storage.

Care & Maintenance

You chose stems that last. Here’s how to make sure they do.

Faux florals are low maintenance, but not no maintenance. A little intentional care goes a long way toward keeping your stems looking the way they did the day they arrived.

Think of this page as your go-to resource. Bookmark it, come back to it, and use it whenever your arrangements need a refresh.

Every stem is chosen with intention — so it works in your home, not just in a vase.

First Things First: Know Your Stems

Not all faux florals are cared for the same way. True Bloom Floral carries three tiers, each with slightly different needs.

True Bloom stems
Our highest tier. Premium real touch stems with detailed surface coatings. Handle gently and keep completely dry.

Real Touch stems
Soft, natural-feeling stems. Clean gently using dry methods or a lightly damp cloth for spot cleaning.

Standard faux stems (including filler)
More forgiving. Can be cleaned with a damp cloth or mild soap solution when needed.

When in doubt, less is more. Gentle care works for every tier.

Everyday Care: The Four Habits That Matter

1. Dust regularly
Dust dulls color and texture over time. A quick dust every 1–2 weeks keeps stems looking fresh.

2. Keep out of direct sunlight
Bright rooms are fine, but prolonged direct sun will fade colors over time, especially deeper tones.

3. Avoid heat and humidity
Keep stems away from fireplaces, radiators, kitchens, and bathrooms. Heat and moisture can damage materials.

4. Reshape as needed
Real touch stems are flexible. Gently reshape petals or bend wired stems to create natural movement.

Cleaning Your Stems

True Bloom & Real Touch Stems

These require the most careful approach.

What works:

• Soft brush (makeup brush, paintbrush, microfiber cloth)
• Hair dryer on cool, low setting (held at least 12 inches away)
• Gentle shake outdoors
• Lightly damp cloth (Real Touch only, for spot cleaning)

What to avoid:

• Submerging in water
• Harsh cleaners or sprays
• Heat or warm air

Standard Faux & Filler Stems

More flexible and easier to clean.

What works:

• All dry cleaning methods above
• Damp cloth or gentle wipe
• Mild soap solution with cool water
• Salt or cornstarch method (shake in a bag to remove dust)

What to avoid:

• Soaking stems
• Aggressive scrubbing

Reflexing Your Stems

Reflexing is a professional floral technique that opens petals outward to create a fuller, more natural look.

Why reflex?

Stems are packed tightly for shipping. Reflexing opens them up, adds dimension, and transforms the overall look.

Best stems for reflexing:

• Roses
• Peonies
• Tulips
• Gladiolus

How to reflex:

• Work slowly with your fingertips
• Gently bend outer petals backward
• Warm petals slightly between your hands if needed
• Never force anything

A reflexed stem instantly looks more elevated and intentional.

Highly Pigmented Stems

Deep tones like reds, burgundies, and jewel shades may transfer color if pressed against light surfaces for extended periods.

This is normal for richly pigmented materials.

To prevent issues:

• Avoid prolonged contact with light fabrics or surfaces
• Wipe surfaces promptly if transfer occurs
• Give stems space when arranging

Storing Your Stems

How you store your stems matters just as much as how you display them.

• Store upright when possible
• Wrap loosely in tissue paper
• Use a supportive storage box
• Keep in a cool, dry, dark space
• Avoid overpacking

Giving stems space helps preserve their shape and structure.

A Note on Vases

Faux florals don’t create water stains or bacteria, but vase care still matters.

• Dust interiors regularly
• Wipe glass vases to remove smudges
• Use filler (stones or foam) to stabilize arrangements
• If adding water for aesthetics, keep real touch stems above the waterline

How Long Will My Stems Last?

With proper care, True Bloom and Real Touch stems typically last five years or more.

The three biggest factors that shorten their lifespan:

• Direct sunlight
• Dust buildup
• Poor storage

Avoid those, and your arrangements will stay beautiful for years.
