Designed to last. Built for the US sun. Backed in writing.
Designer Plants stands behind its UV commercial-grade range with one of the longest warranties in the industry. Trusted across 55,000+ installations and specified by Disney, BMW, Coca-Cola, and Westfield.
UV-resistant artificial hedges, vertical gardens, and green walls by Designer Plants are engineered for the US climate — from the tropical sun in Florida and Hawaii to the alpine conditions of Alaska and the Rocky Mountains.
Unlike many competitors, Designer Plants integrates high-quality UV inhibitors directly within the leaf material of the UV commercial-grade hedge and green wall range — not surface-applied. This is what underpins the market-leading 5-year fade and crack guarantee.
And it is done safely. The UV protection used is home-safe and RoHS compliant — free from lead and heavy metals. Learn more about RoHS compliance.

Designer Plants offers tiered coverage matched to the product type. The headline 5-year UV warranty applies to the commercial-grade range engineered for direct sun and extreme conditions.
The Designer Plants 5-year UV warranty covers the commercial-grade range against excessive colour fade, cracking, and failure under normal use in US conditions. Applies to products clearly marked as UV resistant and 5-year warranted at point of sale.
Covered events:
Metal frames, mounting brackets, and structural components are warranted for 3 years against manufacturer defects under normal indoor and sheltered outdoor use.
Individual UV-rated artificial plants, bushes, topiary, and trees are warranted for 12 months against fading and cracking under normal use. This tier reflects the differing UV exposure conditions of plant specimens compared to large-format panel systems.
Indoor plants and products not marked as UV resistant are not covered under UV warranty terms.
The terms below apply across all warranty tiers. For full terms and conditions read the full warranty policy.
