Yes. The cast resin used for Happy Hares, Henry & Harriet and the Large March Hare Statue is frost-proof and weather-rated for British conditions, including wet Januarys and named-storm gales. There's no need to bring the pieces in for the cold months. A flat pad underneath helps; a hare base sitting in a puddle of freeze-thaw water is the one thing worth avoiding.

In an open lawn a grounded hare can look lost, which is where the tilted head of a moon-gazing piece does the talking. The sitting cut wants a backdrop: low planting, a stone step, the corner of a gravel path, the base of a climbing rose. Given something to sit against, the alert-but-still silhouette looks like a quiet garden resident rather than a passive lump.

Happy Hares stand 22cm tall, small enough for a porch step or the front of a border. Henry & Harriet Hares come as a companion pair at a similar compact scale. The Large March Hare Statue is the tallest settled piece at 36cm, spotted from further down the path without dominating. For anything taller, the large hare ornament cut lifts the scale.

The settled pieces here keep a muted, naturalistic paint finish on cast resin: warm browns and soft whites that recede into planting. The bronze hare cut uses a bronze-effect painted finish over the same cast-resin body, giving the weathered-metal look without the weight, cost or theft worry of real bronze. Both finishes are frost-stable; the choice is visual character.

Very little is needed. A sponge wipe with warm water in spring lifts winter grime and any leaf residue. Avoid pressure washers; the paint will last through several seasons unbothered, but a high-pressure jet at close range can lift edges. A flat, free-draining pad under the base prevents standing water, which is the main long-term concern.

Returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery. Stand the hare against the border before unboxing fully, and trial it in a couple of positions before committing. If the scale is off, repackage and send it back in its original box for a full refund.
