Faux Flowers

Faux flowers earn their keep when they look right up close and stay right for years. Every stem here is chosen for a realistic petal, a bendable stem and colours that sit naturally in a New Zealand home, from a single magnolia branch for a floor vase to a tulip bunch for the kitchen bench. Buy in odd numbers, mix one flower with one foliage stem, and let the vessel do half the work.

If you are after greenery rather than blooms, our faux plants sit alongside, and the vases are cut to suit these stem lengths.

Which faux flowers look most realistic?
Varieties with simple petal structures fool the eye best: tulips, magnolia, orchids and hydrangea, with eucalyptus the most convincing foliage. We choose stems for realistic petals and bendable wire, which is most of the battle won before you get them home.

How do I arrange faux flowers so they look real?
Odd numbers, varied heights, and a minute spent bending each stem, because perfectly straight stems are the giveaway. Trim or angle to suit the vase and let one bloom lean out of the arrangement.

How do I clean faux flowers?
A gentle shake and a soft duster every couple of weeks, with a hairdryer on the cool setting for textured blooms. Kept out of harsh all-day sun, good stems hold their colour for years.

Can I mix faux and fresh flowers?
Yes, and it is the best trick in the book. A faux base of foliage with a few fresh seasonal stems on top gives you a full arrangement all year for the price of a small bunch.
