Artificial lavender bush

You can cut your flowering bushes and foliage into smaller bushes using a pair of strong scissors if you wish to. Just be aware that each bush only has one plastic spike so you might find it a little harder to push it into your oasis without the spike. Unfortunately, we wouldn't be able to accept any returns on bushes that have been cut with scissors.

One of the main reasons for using faux flower bushes instead of natural plants is the benefit of low maintenance. Our flowers won’t ever dry out and wilt if you forget to water them and they won’t need dead-heading to keep them looking their best. If you’re keeping them inside they might need a quick dust every now and then but when outside the wind should take care of that for you. If you want to know how best to clean your fake flowering bushes, we’ve created a quick video guide to show you how.

Price

The price of artificial outdoor flower bushes and shrubs may seem more expensive at first but in the long run, they actually work out to be far more affordable because real plants usually need replacing each year.

Allergies & toxins

An allergy-free home and garden is the obvious advantage of faux flowers. Now you can roam your garden freely without itchy eyes or a stuffy nose. For more reasons to choose artificial plants, visit our blog.

It's really quick and simple to plant your faux flowering bush. Simply push the plastic spike straight into the ground or into your potting medium and enjoy!

We have one of the best ranges of fake outdoor flowers and there's something for every outside space in your garden.

If your garden suffers from sparse borders then our artificial flower bushes and shrubs could be perfect for you. These plants come on a spike and can be simply pushed into the ground. You can mix and match colours and textures to suit your style or the season. These flowering bushes can also be used in DIY artificial hanging baskets and outdoor planters. For your patio, terrace or front porch area, we have a selection of gorgeous patio planters and faux window box troughs. These are stocked in a variety of different arrangements including foliage only options.

For higher up spaces, our premium outdoor hanging baskets offer a beautiful pop of colour that doesn't need dead-heading or watering during the summer months. We think these look especially great on either side of your front door.

Putting a lifespan on any outdoor artificial plant is really tricky and these outdoor arrangements are probably the hardest because the foliage is delicate and less able to withstand the elements.

In our experience, the answer is between one and three years. If your arrangement doesn't last at least a year, get in touch.

Determining the lifespan comes down to a whole host of factors such as location, amount of sun it's exposed to, humidity, and more. There's lots more information about UV protection on our dedicated blog here.
