Costco’s New “Plants” Can Handle the Summer Heat and Storms

Are you tired of maintaining your backyard? Want to avoid caring for your plants during extreme heat? Maybe you’re just looking to significantly lower your water bill. Costco has the solution to all three of these things with a new style of faux plant—one that’s a lot more impressive than what you might be used to.

Rather than being made out of plastic like most faux plants, these sculptures are made out of rust-proof steel. Not only do they look highly realistic, but the material also ensures that these sculptures can survive outdoors in any kind of weather—and this time, it doesn’t even matter what planting zone you’re in. 

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

Desert Steel Yucca Sculpture

This adorable Yucca plant features a sun-proof finish, so you don’t need to worry about finding it a shady spot. The plant can be mounted on a stand prior to placing it in your yard, which you’ll then bury beneath the dirt so the wind won’t uproot it. It even comes with stakes for extra security. This plant is 13 inches wide and 10 inches tall, perfect for a front or backyard display.

Desert Steel Artichoke Agave Sculpture

We love how realistic the finish looks on this gorgeous artichoke agave plant. Like its faux companions, its coloring won’t fade in the sun. It stands 16 inches tall and 19 inches wide—perfect for a pot, planter, or yard. 

One of the reviews for the sculpture details how simply beautiful it is and how it adds a unique touch to the planter at the front door.

Desert Steel Sunset Palm Tree Sculpture

If you’re looking to add some serious style to your backyard, why not go big with the sunset palm? This ten-foot sculpture looks impressively identical to a real palm, so it’s ideal for anyone looking for a showy but no-maintenance yard display. Thankfully, this giant sculpture is also built to withstand high winds, so you won’t need to worry about its weight knocking it over. 

Desert Steel Americana Agave Sculpture

The Americana agave is a fantastic companion for the other steel sculptures, whether you want to display it on its own in a pot or show it off alongside the rest of your yard plants. It stands 16 inches tall and its leaves stretch out to 18 inches wide—and they even feature delicately designed spikes along the edges. 

With heat waves reaching record temperatures this year, this might be the time to invest in weatherproof plants of your own.

All of these pieces besides the palm tree will arrive fully assembled, so all you’ll need to do is fluff the leaves by rearranging them.
