Mistletoe Steel Decoration 3pk Gold/Silver/Cream

Mistletoe is the common name for obligate hemiparasitic plants in the order Santalales. They are attached to their host tree or shrub by a structure called the haustorium, through which they extract water and nutrients from the host plant.

The word 'mistletoe' derives from the older form 'mistle' adding the Old English word tān (twig). 'Mistle' is common Germanic (Old High German mistil, Middle High German mistel, Old English mistel, Old Norse mistil).

The Romans associated mistletoe with peace, love and understanding and hung it over doorways to protect the household. Hanging mistletoe was part of the Saturnalia festival.

It is available in a selection of colours. They can be hung from trees, walls and indoor spaces using nylon line or string. Supplied flat. Can also be simply bent by hand. Try two or more naturally cluster together for a naturalistic effect. 

Suitable for outdoor and indoor settings. Ideally for indoors (as outdoors might be at risk of rust). Can be folded carefully flat afterwards.
