5.5’ Olive Topiary Artificial Tree UV Resistant (Indoor/Outdoor)

Loved these topiaries when I received them. Needed something for my outdoor space. These were advertised as suitable for outdoor use and were UV protected. So I purchased 2 large, heavy clay planters so they looked like the European or French look that I love. They do withstand rain and wind but unfortunately they changed color. Originally the leaves were a grey green color and appeared quite natural. Within a few months the color of the leaves turned to a bluish color. A bit like a blue green and they look totally fake and awful. I paid a premium, full price for them. Then I saw them on sale. Too bad since now I’ll have to trash them. Wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem.
