Bougainvillea Spray Beauty Artificial Flowers

Pink Artificial Bougainvillea Spray On A 90 cm Stem

There is a particular kind of pink that belongs to a Cape Town summer — the papery, glowing pink of bougainvillea in full flower against a whitewashed wall. Our pink artificial bougainvillea captures that exact colour on a 90 cm branching stem. Clusters of soft pink bracts with paler ivory centres, warm gold stamens at the heart of each bloom, and mid-green oval leaves scattered along the length of the spray.

Fabulous Flowers has been a trusted Cape Town florist since 1999, and this piece sits within our silk flowers range. At 90 cm, the spray is tall enough to be the whole arrangement on its own — a single stem arching out of a tall floor vase reads like a piece of the garden brought indoors.

Silk Bougainvillea Spray For A Mediterranean Feel

One 90 cm branching stem, dense clusters of papery pink bracts in soft blush with pale ivory centres, warm gold stamen clusters, mid-green oval foliage scattered along the length. Dramatic alone in a tall vase. Layered into an artificial flower bouquet, it pairs beautifully with a soft pink Olivia rose and a cabbage rose in pink pearl for a full soft-pink summer arrangement.

How To Style A Faux Bougainvillea Stem At Home

One 90 cm spray is a floor-vase piece. Place it in a tall ceramic vase in a hallway or a corner of a sunroom and let it arch. For a fuller display, cluster three stems together — the branching bracts will create a bougainvillea-bush effect in one vase. For a softer, more filler-led arrangement, pair with the pink wax flower and some grey-green eucalyptus — the bougainvillea becomes the statement; the wax flower and eucalyptus become the softness around it.

Care For Your Silk Bougainvillea

Dust gently every few weeks with a soft cloth or a hairdryer on the cool setting. Keep out of direct sun to protect the soft pink colour on the bracts — real bougainvillea loves sun, but silk does not. That is the whole routine.

Why A Silk Bougainvillea Earns Its Place

Real bougainvillea is spectacular outdoors and impossible to keep indoors for long. It drops bracts the moment you cut a branch and bring it inside. A quality silk bougainvillea is the lasting version — the papery pink, the branching silhouette, the Mediterranean feel, permanently, without the mess. Order one stem for a statement vase. For a fuller display, three stems clustered together and no other flowers needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this artificial bougainvillea look real?

In our view, yes. Bougainvillea is one of the easier flowers to render well in silk because the real bloom is itself papery and slightly translucent — which is exactly how the silk version reads. The bracts layer in clusters along the branching stem the way a real bougainvillea does, the gold stamens at the heart of each bloom are hand-added rather than painted flat, and the foliage is proper mid-green bougainvillea leaf. Most people have to look closely to tell it is not fresh.

How tall is the stem?

The stem is 90 cm from tip to base, with the bracts clustering in the top two-thirds and the foliage scattered along the length. Statement-size — closer in scale to a cut branch off a mature bougainvillea bush than to a short filler stem.

What is the difference between the bougainvillea and the pink wax flower?

Both are pink, both are spray-format, but they do different jobs. The bougainvillea is a 90 cm statement branching stem — papery bracts, dramatic silhouette, built to be the main feature of an arrangement. The pink wax flower is a delicate, small-bloom filler spray — softer, smaller, built to sit alongside other flowers rather than in front of them. Pick the bougainvillea for a statement. Pick the wax flower for softness around other blooms.

How long do artificial flowers last compared to fresh bougainvillea?

Kept indoors and out of direct sunlight, silk bougainvillea holds its colour for years with almost no maintenance. Real bougainvillea is a garden plant, not a vase flower — cut branches drop their bracts within a day or two once brought indoors. A silk stem is the only way to have the bougainvillea look in a room long-term.

Can I use artificial bougainvillea outdoors?

Indoor or covered-patio use only. Direct South African sun fades silk flowers over time, and rain will damage the bracts. A protected shaded veranda is fine. Full sun is not. For outdoor bougainvillea, plant the real thing — it thrives in Cape Town.

Fabulous Flowers and Gifts Fresh Flowers Care Instructions

Fresh Flowers

Find a Vase: Your lovely blooms need a drink! Put them in your favourite vase with fresh water as soon as possible.

Trim Those Stems: Keep those stems fresh by cutting them at an angle. This allows more water up the stem. Checking and trimming the stems every few days will keep them sound.

Gently Strip Leaves: Remove any excess leaves, especially from the part of the stem that will be submerged. This helps to avoid rot and bacteria, which can shorten your flowers' life span.

Remove Old Blooms: Drooping flowers release ethylene gas, which may accelerate the aging of other flowers. Strip off any dead or dying flowers to keep the rest of the bouquet looking bright and fresh.

Keep Them Cool: Place your flowers away from heat sources such as heaters, televisions, or ovens to retain the beauty of your flowers.

Clean Water: Always place your flowers in clean water. Refresh your vase with water daily or at least every second day. 

Gift Boxes

Storage Tips: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to keep contents in perfect condition.

Handling with Care: Handle this box gently so as not to damage the delicate items inside.

Freshening: If your gift includes foods or beverages, please refer to the individual product use-by and expiry dates and the informational materials regarding storage recommendations:

Plants

Watering: Ensure your plants are hydrated but avoid overwatering. Check the soil's moisture regularly and water it when the top inch feels dry.

Light: Place your plants in a spot where they receive the appropriate amount of light. Some prefer bright, indirect light, while others thrive in low-light conditions.

Feeding: Feed your plants with a balanced fertiliser every few weeks during the growing season to keep them healthy and vibrant.

Pruning: Regularly remove dead leaves and trim back overgrown branches to encourage new growth and maintain the plant's shape.

Humidity: Some plants thrive in high humidity. If needed, mist your plants occasionally or place a humidifier nearby to create a favourable environment.

Artificial Flowers and Plants

Dusting: Your artificial flowers and botanicals should be lightly dusted regularly with a soft cloth or feather duster.

Light Washing: For deeper cleaning, please use a cloth lightly dampened with water and a small amount of mild detergent. Gently wipe the leaves and petals.

Avoid Direct: Sunlight Do not place under direct sunlight in order to prevent colours from fading.

Fluff and Arrange: Just fluff up petals and leaves to remain fluffy. Set them in position as desired to look natural.
