Costco’s new “plant” can withstand summer heat and storms

Are you tired of maintaining your backyard? Do you want to avoid taking care of your plants in extremely hot weather? Maybe you’re just looking for a way to significantly reduce your water bill. Costco has a solution to all three of these problems with a new style of fake tree—one that’s much more impressive than what you might be used to.

Instead of being made of plastic like most fake plants, these sculptures are made of stainless steel. Not only do they look very realistic, but the material also ensures that these sculptures can survive outdoors in all kinds of weather—and this time, it doesn’t even matter what growing zone you’re in.

Below, we share four stunning plants you can choose from to beautify your outdoor space.

Desert Steel Yucca Statue

This lovely Yucca plant has a sun-protective coating, so you don’t need to worry about finding a shady spot. The tree can be mounted on a stand before placing it in your yard, which you will then bury in the ground so the wind doesn’t uproot the tree. It even comes with stakes for extra safety. This tree is 13 inches wide and 10 inches tall, perfect for displaying in front or back of the house.

Desert steel artichoke sculpture

We love the realistic look of this gorgeous agave artichoke. Like its faux friends, its colors won’t fade in the sun. It stands 16 inches tall and 19 inches wide—perfect for pots, planters, or patios.

One of the reviews of the sculpture details its simple beauty and how it adds a unique touch to the front door planter.

Desert Steel Sunset Palm Tree Statue

If you’re looking to add some serious style to your backyard, why not go big with a sunset palm? This 10-foot-tall sculpture looks strikingly similar to a real palm tree, so it’s ideal for those looking for a showy yet maintenance-free garden display. Thankfully, this giant sculpture is also built to withstand high winds, so you won’t need to worry about its weight causing it to topple over.

Agave Americana Desert Steel Sculpture

The Americana Agave makes a great companion for other steel sculptures, whether you want to display it alone in a pot or show it off alongside the rest of the plants in your yard. It grows 16 inches tall and its leaves span up to 18 inches—they even have delicately designed spines along the edges.

With the heatwave reaching record temperatures this year, this could be the time to invest in weather-resistant plants.

All of these pieces except the palm tree will come fully assembled, so all you need to do is crumple the leaves by rearranging them.
