Designer Plants Five Key Technologies
Every plant in this collection is built for a permanent outdoor position: UVTex inhibitors bonded within the leaf material rather than sprayed on, and RealTex tone variation across the foliage so a planter box does not read as one flat green. Fire-tested options are available where a brief carries a compliance requirement.
How to Choose Artificial Outdoor Plants for Full Sun
Outdoor artificial plants earn their place where a living plant struggles: a windy balcony, a dark side return, a rental courtyard where nothing can go into the ground. This collection holds more than 200 UV resistant pieces, from 20cm potted plants at $14.95 through to a 180cm ficus at $300. Everything here is made for a permanent outdoor position, so rain, wind and reflected heat off paving are part of the brief rather than a risk to manage. Pick a form and a size first, then narrow down to a species.
Forms and sizes in the range
Small potted plants at 20cm suit ledges, tables and window boxes, while ornamental grasses at 35cm to 38cm and lady ferns at 40cm fill a planter box. Hanging baskets run from 55cm to 110cm, and cut stems at 30cm to 35cm top up an existing arrangement from around $7.95. Larger forms include a 44cm boxwood topiary ball, a 50cm agave, yucca grass at 75cm and potted specimens between 120cm and 180cm.
Balcony privacy, poolsides and courtyards
For balcony privacy a continuous run of greenery along the rail does more work than scattered pots, and hanging baskets at 90cm add height without using floor space. Poolside positions suit waterproof outdoor artificial plants that can be hosed down, since chlorine and salt residue rinse straight off the foliage. Where a wall needs covering rather than a floor, green wall panels at 1m x 1m and a 3m x 1m boxwood roll with privacy backing cover ground quickly.
Getting the grouping right
Odd-numbered groups at three different heights read more naturally than a matched pair either side of a door. Mix leaf shapes rather than repeating one form, and keep the tallest piece at roughly twice the height of the shortest so the group has a clear top and base.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between fake outdoor plants and UV resistant artificial plants?
Nothing, when the product is genuinely outdoor rated. Fake outdoor plants and artificial outdoor plants are the same category, and the phrase people search for varies. The real division is between greenery with UVTex inhibitors bonded within the leaf and interior stock that has none, which is why every product in this collection states UV Resistant in its title.
How long do artificial outdoor plants last in Australian sun?
The UV resistant products here are engineered to hold colour through repeated summers in direct sun, with a full northern aspect the most demanding position. Inhibitors bonded within the leaf cannot be washed off by rain or cleaning, unlike a surface coating. A 5-year UV warranty is provided on all certified outdoor panels.
Are outdoor artificial plants waterproof?
Rain is not a problem for the foliage or stems, and hosing the plants down is the recommended way to clean them. Where water matters is the planter rather than the plant, so a pot sitting on a balcony should still drain rather than hold rainwater around the base.
Which artificial plants suit balcony privacy?
Height and continuity do the screening. A run of greenery along the rail at a consistent height blocks sightlines better than individual pots, and 90cm hanging baskets lift greenery to eye level without using floor space. Where a solid face is wanted, the 3m x 1m boxwood roll with privacy backing covers a rail run in one piece.
How do outdoor artificial plants compare with outdoor artificial trees?
Plants fill planters, soften edges and sit below about a metre, which suits ledges, rails and boxes. Outdoor artificial trees start where plants stop, running from 50cm up to 2.1 metres, and are used to hold a corner or frame an entrance. Most courtyards use both: trees for structure, plants for infill.
Do the artificial outdoor plants come with a pot?
The product title states it. Anything listed as a small potted plant, such as the 20cm jasmine or 20cm flowering boxwood, arrives in its own pot ready to place. Others are supplied without one, like the 50cm agave, so they can be dropped into an existing planter or a specified pot.
Can artificial outdoor plants be used in a fully shaded spot?
Yes, and shade is where they often do the most useful work, since a spot that gets no light will not sustain a living plant. Ferns at 40cm and the 100cm Spanish moss read particularly well in a shaded side return or under a covered walkway, where the softer forms suit low light.
How are outdoor artificial plants cleaned?
A rinse with a hose two or three times a year clears dust and pollen from the leaf. Where a film has built up, the Eco-Home Safe cleaner lifts it without stripping colour. Poolside plants benefit from a fresh water rinse more often, to keep chlorine and salt residue off the foliage.

Commercial Grade. Made for Lasting Impact.
Outdoor planting is usually the first thing a visitor sees and the first thing a maintenance budget cuts, which is why exterior artificial greenery is specified so often for entries, terraces and courtyards.
Planter box schedules. Mixed plantings can be worked out per planter from the 20cm, 38cm and 75cm sizes so every box on a site is filled to the same recipe.
Fire-tested options. The FireTex range provides fire-tested products where a brief carries a compliance requirement. Confirm the requirement against the individual product before specifying.
Repeatable supply. Stock is supplied from the same production run for staged works, so a second tower or a later stage matches the first rather than drifting in tone.
Quantities beyond standard stock holdings are confirmed on enquiry.
