The Cow Parsley Stakes are made from steel.
Each stake is approximately 151.1 cm (5 feet) tall.
No, the stake is supplied bare metal and is designed to rust naturally. No pre-treatment is necessary.
The rust itself is generally harmless to plants. However, excessive rust runoff could potentially affect soil pH over a very long period, but this is unlikely in a typical garden setting.
These stakes are intended for decorative purposes only and are not designed to provide structural support for plants.
The Cow Parsley Stake is sold in a pack of three.
Each stake measures approximately 20.3 cm in width and 151.1 cm in height.
Gently rock the stake to help it settle deeper into the soil. If the ground is very hard, consider moistening the area around the base or using a rubber mallet to tap it in further.
Consider repositioning the stake slightly away from sensitive surfaces. Alternatively, once the desired rust colour is achieved, a clear metal sealant can be applied to the stake to prevent further transfer.
The rusting process depends on environmental factors like moisture and air exposure. Exposing the stake to more moisture (e.g., by light spraying) can encourage faster rusting. Ensure it is not constantly dried out.
Setup: Simply push the base of the stake firmly into the ground where desired. Ensure it is stable before releasing. For best stability, choose a location with reasonably soft soil.
Compatibility: These stakes are compatible with all garden types, from formal beds to informal cottage gardens. They pair well with a variety of plants, including grasses, perennials, and small shrubs. Avoid placing directly against surfaces that could be stained by rust, such as light-coloured walls or paving.
Care: The stake is designed to be low maintenance. It requires no painting or special treatment. To prolong its life, ensure it is firmly planted to prevent excessive movement. If you wish to speed up the rusting process, you can lightly spray it with water daily. To slow down rust or prevent staining, you can apply a clear sealant once a desired patina has been achieved, though this is not required for durability.
