Q : Does the golden color withstand the elements and time?
The golden finish is treated for outdoor garden use — resistant to UV and water splashes (IP44). The gilding is applied to the metal with a protective treatment that prevents normal oxidation and discoloration. In normal outdoor conditions (rain, wind, sun), it retains its shine season after season. An occasional wipe after periods of heavy rain extends the life of the golden finish.
Q : Can this stem stay in the garden all year round?
Yes — outdoor garden. The metal and the golden finish are designed for permanent outdoor use. The IP44 protection ensures resistance to water splashes. In winter during periods of intense frost, removing the stems protects the battery from low temperatures that reduce autonomy.
Q : What is the difference between the golden spike and the kohlrabi and fern stems in the catalog?
The color, height, and style are very different. The botanical stems (kohlrabi H45cm, fern H46cm) are made of natural metal, low, and designed to blend into low vegetation. The golden spike (H81cm) is made of golden metal, much taller, and in a very distinct fairy-tale and rustic style. The three are metal botanical markers, but in very different stylistic worlds and heights.
Q : Is the light golden or warm white?
The LED is warm white — it is the golden finish of the metal that is illuminated and gives the light perceived from the outside a very particular warmth and amber hue. The golden spike does not produce golden light per se, but the combination of the warm white LED and the golden metal creates a very warm and bright atmosphere.
Q: Is it a good gift for someone who loves poetic and fairy-tale gardens?
The most enchanting and memorable solar gift in the catalog for this profile. A golden wheat spike that lights up in the evening in a garden — it is a very strong image that immediately conveys magic and care. For someone who has a country garden, an ornamental vegetable garden, or simply a taste for objects that have a soul, the golden spike is a gift that lasts and delights at every sunset.
