The Premium Potted Burgundy Artificial Long Grass 180cm UV combines the vertical botanical statement of the tall long grass form with the distinctive deep burgundy colourway — the outdoor specification when both height and colour contrast are part of the brief. At 180 centimetres, the upright deep burgundy strap leaves create a bold vertical presence that is immediately distinct from standard green outdoor plantings, providing tonal depth and visual drama in pool surrounds, outdoor entertaining areas, and commercial outdoor environments. Constructed from LDPE with integrated RealTex and UVTex UV inhibitors — integrated within the leaf, not surface-applied.
The 180cm Burgundy Long Grass is specified where the 115cm burgundy version would be too compact for the scale of the installation, and where a green tall version would not deliver the colour differentiation that the design requires. Used alongside green UV-certified specimens, it creates tonal layering and botanical depth in outdoor planting arrangements — the burgundy providing colour accent at maximum height.
Deep burgundy at 180 centimetres — the combination of height and colour creates a botanical statement that stops the eye immediately. Against pale rendered walls, light paving, or the blue of a pool, the effect is intentional and design-led in a way that green-only schemes rarely achieve.

Maximum height, maximum colour contrast — for outdoor environments where the botanical brief demands both.
Pool surrounds and outdoor entertaining areas. The tall burgundy long grass creates a dramatic colour and height contrast in pool environments — the deep red-purple foliage producing a colour relationship with pool water and pale pool surrounds that standard green specimens cannot achieve.
Statement outdoor botanical installations. Used as a standalone focal element in courtyard gardens, rooftop terraces, and outdoor entertaining areas where a single dramatic specimen provides height, colour, and architectural botanical form.
Mixed outdoor planting arrangements. Specified at the back or centre of multi-specimen outdoor arrangements to provide height and colour depth — the burgundy complementing green UV specimens at lower heights to create a layered, resort-quality outdoor botanical scheme.
Commercial outdoor dining and hospitality forecourts. Used in commercial outdoor environments where the colour contrast of the burgundy creates brand-aligned botanical accents and distinguishes the outdoor space from generic planting schemes.
Hotel and resort pool decks and terraces. The combination of UV-certified outdoor performance and distinctive colour makes the 180cm burgundy long grass a premium specification for resort and hotel outdoor environments.
Residential outdoor screening. Used in groups along fence lines and outdoor boundaries to create coloured vertical screening — botanical privacy at height with a distinctive colour character.
Events and outdoor brand activations. The tall format and distinctive colour make this specimen a high-impact event element — used by event designers when colour and botanical height are both specification requirements.
Institutional outdoor environments. Non-toxic SafeTex-certified construction confirms suitability for outdoor institutional environments.
The Premium Potted Burgundy Artificial Long Grass 180cm UV arrives ready to position — no assembly required. Freestanding and stable on level outdoor surfaces. The deep burgundy foliage reads most powerfully against light-coloured backgrounds. For exposed environments, the base can be placed inside a larger planter and stabilised with ballast.

The 180cm version is the tall-format specification — preferred when height and vertical presence are required alongside the burgundy colour contrast. The 115cm version suits more compact outdoor installations or environments where the full 180cm height would be disproportionate. Both share the same deep burgundy colourway, ISO-certified UVTex construction, frost resistance, and 12-month warranty.
The Burgundy Long Grass 180cm has deep red-purple strap leaves — specified when colour contrast is a deliberate design requirement.

Both are UV-certified with ISO-certified UVTex construction, frost resistant, and covered by a 12-month warranty.

The deep burgundy-red foliage of this specimen references ornamental grass and cordyline varieties valued for their distinctive colour — a deliberate design choice rather than a default green palette. In outdoor environments, the burgundy creates tonal contrast against pale surfaces and pool water that standard green specimens cannot provide. The colour is a permanent material characteristic of the UV-certified specimen — it does not fade, as the UVTex inhibitors are integrated within the leaf at manufacturing stage.
