I wanted new fake ferns for outside .
My previous fake ferns  which I purchased at a garden centre were all plastic  and very realistic looking  and lasted about  six years  until they   Be came very brittle  and started falling apart .
 I didn't know what to expect with these because it said they were plastic and when they came they kind of looked like silk .  Wayfair assured me that they were plastic and that they would be suitable for outdoors .  So I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I will get quite a few years out of them  until they start to fade .  I will keep you updated .
