Tulips are the flower people miss most out of season, which is exactly why they are worth faking well. These ones are moulded from latex rather than printed on fabric, so the petals have the slight give and the faint sheen of the real thing, and the stems bend where you want them to sit rather than where the wire decides.

They come by the bunch in three, five or seven heads, in short 32cm or long 39cm stems, and in white, pink, yellow and peach. Sold as Tulipa in the botanical trade and sometimes listed simply as faux tulips, they behave like the real flower in an arrangement: a little loose, a little irregular, better for it.

How many bunches do I need?

One five-head bunch fills a 15 to 20cm vase comfortably. For a 25cm jug, use two bunches, and consider mixing two colours rather than doubling one. Seven heads in a single tall vase reads as a proper arrangement on its own.

Will they look obviously fake up close?

The latex moulding holds up at conversational distance, which is where most people see a vase. Under direct hand inspection they are recognisably artificial, as all faux flowers are. The stems are the giveaway rather than the petals, so keeping them in an opaque vessel helps.

Can I mix them with other stems?

Yes, and they are better for it. Pair them with something with height and something with texture from our faux flowers range, or build a whole arrangement from our loose stems.

A note on materials: the petals are latex, so if anyone in the household has a latex sensitivity these are worth avoiding.

Why You'll Love Them

  • Moulded latex petals with the give and sheen of a fresh tulip
  • Bendable wired stems that hold whatever shape you give them
  • One purchase that lasts years rather than a week
  • Four colours and three bunch sizes to build an arrangement properly
  • No water, no dropped petals, no January gap when tulips vanish from the shops

Product Details

  • Material: latex petals on wired stems
  • Stem lengths: Short (32cm overall) or Long (39cm overall)
  • Bunch size: 3, 5 or 7 tulip heads per bunch
  • Colours: white, pink, yellow and peach (availability varies)
  • Sold: by the bunch (vase not included)

Arranging Them Well

Tulips look wrong when they are made to stand to attention, because real ones never do. Let them lean. Trim the wire so the heads sit at slightly different heights, turn a couple to face away from the room, and use a vessel narrow enough at the neck to hold the stems loosely together. A ceramic jug or a clear glass vase both work. For a wedding or a styled shoot, tie a bunch with linen ribbon and lay it flat rather than standing it up.

Gifting Tips

They make a very good gift for someone who travels, someone in a rental with poor light, or anyone who has said out loud that they always kill houseplants.

The white tulips on the console are photographed beside our Wavy Table Lamp in Black, with Chanel Catwalk and Hare + Klein Interior stacked underneath. In the peach tulip shots the vase is resting on LifeStyled and Minimalista, with our Sahara Ceramic Tray alongside.

In essence

The Tulip Bouquet from Artificial Flora is a faux tulip bunch in moulded latex on bendable wired stems, available in three, five or seven heads, in short 32cm or long 39cm lengths, and in white, pink, yellow and peach. Also sold as Tulipa or faux tulips, it suits vases, centrepieces and event styling, and lasts years rather than a week.
