Rust planting stele with dandelion motif (1 m) made of Corten steel â with deep 30 Ă 30 cm planting bowl
Slender, tall, with presence: This 1-metre-high planting stela (20 Ă 20 cm) made of genuine Corten steel features a finely laser-cut dandelion motif on all four sides. It comes with a deep square plant bowl (30 Ă 30 cm, 18 cm deep) with real space for lush planting. As an outdoor decorative column, planting stela or rustic plant stand, itâs a slim, elegant eye-catcher for garden, patio and entrance.
The square bowl (30 Ă 30 cm) is a pleasantly deep 18 cm â plenty of room for the roots of larger seasonal plants, grasses or small shrubs. It rests on four small spheres on the closed top of the column.
The column is open at the bottom â place an LED string light or a candle inside and the light will shimmer through the dandelion motif on all four sides. In the evening your stele becomes an atmospheric light source.
Your stela arrives already fully rusted, exactly as shown in the product photos. No weeks of waiting for the patina, no fiddling with rust recipes as with bare metal. Unpack, set up, done.
The same slim column is also available with a decorative round half-sphere bowl (Ă 30 cm), which slides flush into the column opening.

Beate, a trained florist, contributes the eye for beauty. We handcraft every piece in Bavaria â and weâre personally available if you have any questions.
đż Weatherproof & durable
Under the visible rust layer, Corten steel forms a protective barrier layer that seals the material and prevents further corrosion. The column is frost-proof, weather-resistant and low-maintenance, can stay outside all year round and only gains character over time.
đĄ Planting tip
Thanks to a depth of 18 cm you can plant the square bowl properly. We recommend a drainage layer of gravel at the bottom. Summer flowers, grasses, perennials or small evergreens look especially beautiful. The bowl can be removed and stored separately in winter.
