Leather Fern Bush - 38cm Faux Rumohra Foliage
Online only - Please allow up to 10 working days for delivery
If you have ever bought flowers from a florist, you have handled leather fern. It is the dark triangular frond tucked behind almost every bouquet, chosen because it is firm, holds its shape and makes everything in front of it look better.
Leather fern, leatherleaf fern and Rumohra adiantiformis name the same plant. At 38cm this bush gives you a permanent supply of that backdrop, and the deep green is a genuine advantage, since paler foliage competes with flowers while this recedes behind them. Use it under the stems in our Faux Flowers range, or under a bunch of fresh flowers when you have them.
Can I use it with fresh flowers?
Yes, and it is one of the more practical uses. Build the fern base once, then drop fresh stems in among it each week and only replace the flowers.
It is a small, well priced piece that solves a recurring problem, and it makes a genuinely useful gift for anyone who buys flowers regularly. See the rest of our Faux Plants and vessels in Ceramics. Why You'll Love It

- Builds a permanent base you can drop fresh stems into each week
- Compact at 38cm, so it works in medium and small vases Building the Arrangement
- Set the fern first as the base layer, then add taller stems in front
- Angle a few fronds out over the vase rim to hide the mechanics
- Keep it behind and below the feature stems, never in front
- Reuse the same fern base and swap only the flowers
- Height: 38cm
- Supplied without a pot
- Indoor use
- Separate the fronds on arrival
Is it stiff enough to hold flowers in place?
Reasonably, yes. A dense fern base does some of the work a frog or tape grid would, which is part of why florists reach for it. In short
The Leather Fern Bush is a 38cm faux Rumohra with firm triangular fronds in deep green, the classic florist's backing fern. It builds a permanent base for fresh or faux flowers and recedes behind them rather than competing.
