Nearly Natural UV-Resistant Artificial Geraniums vs Artificial Outdoor Hydrangea Flowers

Buy the Nearly Natural geranium set if you want a finished, potted centerpiece for a table or porch and prefer a set of three matching pieces. Buy the hydrangea if you want big, full blooms for a door, planter or porch arrangement and don't mind supplying your own pot or stems. The Nearly Natural set is plastic with a traditional look and comes ready to place; the hydrangea uses silk-and-plastic heads with a wider bloom and is sold as loose flower heads. Owners of the hydrangea praise how realistic it looks up close and how it held up through rain and wind.

• Choose the Nearly Natural geranium set if you want three potted, UV-resistant pieces that go straight onto a sofa table or porch step with no arranging.
• Choose the hydrangea if you want large, full flower heads to build your own door or planter display and need waterproof, windproof blooms.
