Artificial outdoor plants
 

Hi
Has anyone bought any quality outdoor artificial plants, how long did they last, is it worth it, or should we stick to planting in pots, any suggestions as to which plants to pot that don't need a lot of looking after as we are only over say every 6 weeks.
Thanks

Difficult to think of any plants other than maybe cacti that would live for six weeks without watering. Timer controlled irrigation systems are not expensive to install.

Hi
Sorry should have said, we have irrigation system, either to much water or not enough, so I am told.
Oh well look like trying more plants

Usually plants are killed by kindness, i.e. too much water.
It is also important to consider when you water.

Marguerites are very tolerant and they self seed.

If you are only there every 6 weeks buy some cut flowers and save yourself the hassle.
