Can All of Your Outdoor Artificial Flowers Go Outside?
We have a wide selection of the best outdoor artificial flowers you can find, and all of them are designed to spend time outside. But, be aware that we classify our outdoor flowers into three categories that describe how the elements will affect them:
Water-Resistant flowers are the least hardy of our outdoor fake flowers — they can withstand being wet but will fade with prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. No warranty or guarantee is included.
UV-Resistant flowers are the first level of our UV-protected outdoor artificial flowers. Length of time before fading will vary significantly depending on location and thickness of materials used. Expect maybe a couple months for thin leaves in high heat southern states with direct all day sun to lasting many years in northern states under partial sun. No warranty or guarantee is included.
UV-Proof artificial outdoor flowers are guaranteed to
delay fading for a minimum of 5 years, (3 years for Arizona, Texas and Florida),
and withstand the ravages of wind, rain, ice, snow, and people.

material.
