Artificial Hydrangeas
Ultra Realistic Artificial Plants
Designer Plants Five Key Technologies
Five material technologies engineered into every Designer Plants specimen. Built to hold colour, finish and density in Australian conditions.
Artificial hydrangea flowers from Designer Plants carry the full mophead bloom in white, blue and purple, as 35cm stems, a glass vase arrangement and 90cm flowering trees. UV resistant hydrangeas suit a porch, courtyard or balcony, while the vase arrangement is made for indoor styling.
Choosing Artificial Hydrangeas for Vases, Planters and Entrances
Live hydrangeas look their best for a few weeks a year and wilt the moment they dry out. Artificial hydrangeas keep the mophead in full bloom, which is why they are used so often for coastal interiors, entrances and event styling. The range covers 35cm hydrangea stems in white and purple at $9.95, a blue hydrangea in a glass vase at $48.95, and 90cm hydrangea trees in white and blue at $139.95. For mixed arrangements, see the full artificial flowers range.
Stems, vases and trees
One hydrangea head fills more of a vase than most flowers, so three artificial hydrangea stems are usually enough for a standard vase; more single stems sit in stems. The glass vase arrangement arrives finished for a side table or entry console, alongside other flowers in glass vases. The 90cm hydrangea trees suit a patio, a doorway or a pair either side of a path.
Choosing a colour
White hydrangeas suit coastal, Hamptons and neutral schemes and stand out against dark timber or charcoal render. Blue picks up navy and grey, while purple adds depth next to green foliage. Keeping to one colour through a group looks more deliberate than alternating several.
Indoor and outdoor positions
The hydrangea trees and stems carry UVTex, with UV inhibitors bonded within the leaf and petal, and suit outdoor positions including direct sun. The glass vase arrangement is built with RealTex for indoor and sheltered positions and is not UV rated for prolonged direct sun. Check the title for UV Resistant before placing hydrangeas outdoors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can artificial hydrangeas go outside?
The 90cm hydrangea trees and 35cm stems can, as they carry UVTex inhibitors bonded within the leaf and petal. The blue hydrangea in a glass vase is made for indoor and sheltered positions only. Check the product title for UV Resistant before placing a hydrangea in direct sun.
How many hydrangea stems do I need for a vase?
Three 35cm stems fill a standard vase, since each mophead is large. A low, wide bowl may take four or five for a fuller dome. Adding one or two green stems between the heads keeps the arrangement from looking heavy.
Do fake hydrangea flowers fade?
UV resistant hydrangeas are engineered to hold colour in direct sun because the inhibitors sit within the material rather than on the surface. Indoor pieces without a UV rating can fade over time beside a sunny window. Positioning the glass vase arrangement away from direct afternoon sun keeps the blue true.
Should I choose a hydrangea tree or stems in a planter?
A 90cm hydrangea tree gives height and a clear standard shape, which suits an entrance or the end of a path. Stems pushed into a planter box give a lower, massed look closer to a garden bed. Most courtyards use a pair of trees for structure and stems for infill.
Are artificial hydrangeas suitable for weddings and events?
Yes, and they can be reused from one event to the next because nothing wilts between bookings. Hydrangeas in this range are not fire rated; for venues with a fire requirement, the FireTex range is tested to AS/NZS 1530.3 with a Spread of Flame Index of 0, and Group 1 certified options to AS 5637.1 are made to order on quote. Call 1800 617 341 to discuss venue quantities.
How are artificial hydrangeas cleaned?
A hairdryer on the cool setting clears dust from between the florets better than a cloth. Outdoor hydrangea trees and stems can be rinsed with a hose. Avoid solvent-based cleaners, which can lift the surface finish on the petal.
