Painted finish on cast resin, not solid metal. That's the sensible choice for a British garden. You get the weathered-metal look without the weight, cost or theft worry of real bronze. A 38cm pair at around 3kg each is light enough to move one-handed when you want a different spot. The pigment is mixed through the paint, so tonal depth holds through several seasons rather than chalking in one wet winter.

It holds well. Pigment mixed through the layer weathers slowly and evenly rather than patchily. After two or three years you may notice the bronze-effect reading a shade warmer, and the verdigris softening toward a more muted green. Most gardeners prefer that to the factory-clean look. A damp cloth with warm water twice a year is the whole care routine.

Yes. The arched-neck, ears-laid-flat shape is the strongest long-distance hare pose. The raised nose and the line from shoulder to ear catch the sky behind, so the pair carries from four or five metres away. A seated figure would disappear into the planting at that range. Place the pair with open sky or a clear backdrop rather than a busy shrub.

Yes. The cast resin is rated for British weather. Frost-thaw cycles, named-storm gales and long wet spells don't split the body. One useful winter habit helps: lift each piece briefly off saturated mulch in autumn and rest it on a flat paver. Damp won't wick up into the base. Otherwise the hares are happy outdoors year-round.

The 23cm Medium Bronze pair is the easier fit for a porch step, a windowsill, a balcony corner or a small courtyard. In those spots the Large pairs at 38cm and 36cm look oversized. The Large Graphite and Verdigris pairs want a longer sightline (a gravel path, the back of a mixed border, or either side of a bench in a bigger garden).
