Easy-Care Artificial Plants for Balconies and Terraces

Updated 10 October 2026

Summer in Finland can bring cool nights and bright, sunny days in quick succession. Carefully chosen artificial plants offer a way to add greenery to a balcony, terrace or garden without regular watering. For outdoor use, always check the product’s care and suitability details.

UV-resistant plants for outdoor settings

Lavender’s delicate purple flowers and familiar fragrance are much loved, but the plant can struggle through Finnish winters or changeable conditions. Artificial lavender is therefore a popular choice for sheltered terraces and glazed balconies.

UV-resistant artificial plants are made with materials designed to withstand sunlight better than standard varieties. They can be a practical choice for a sunny balcony, terrace or entrance, although exposure and product specifications matter. Our outdoor selection includes varieties such as lavender, palms, olive trees, hydrangeas, ornamental grasses and boxwood.

Greenery with less upkeep

Artificial plants can keep an outdoor setting looking considered without watering, feeding or pruning. They may suit a terrace, balcony, holiday home or a sheltered building entrance, depending on the plant and conditions.

Hanging arrangements are another way to bring colour and fullness beneath a balcony roof. In locations with less direct sunlight, a wider range of plants may be suitable. Standard varieties can have a particularly natural finish and may cost less than UV-resistant options; choose according to the light and exposure in your space.

Artificial plants come in many forms. They can complement existing outdoor planting or bring greenery to a spot where living plants may not thrive.

To see a wider range, visit our Helsinki boutique on Uudenmaankatu or contact us. Tell us about your space and budget, and we can help you consider suitable plants and planters.
