As someone who’s watched real flowers wilt within days under my scorching patio sun, these faux daisies felt like a miracle. The 'double purple' shade is vibrant—more of a mixed lavender and deep violet in person—but honestly, it’s prettier than the product photos.

Unboxing tip: Don’t panic if they arrive flattened! I spent 10 minutes gently separating stems and fluffing the silk petals (they’re surprisingly soft), and suddenly—boom—lush, ‘just-picked’ daisies. The plastic-wrapped forsythia branches add realistic texture.

I hung two bunches in my west-facing window box (where real plants go to die). Three months later, zero fading despite brutal UV exposure. They even survived a hailstorm! Pro tip: Cluster 4-5 bunches for that ‘overflowing basket’ look seen in ads—one bunch alone looks sparse.

Best part? My neighbor asked how I keep them ‘so alive.’ That’s when you know faux flowers have leveled up. They’re now my go-to gift for fellow plant murderers.
