A hanging feeder needs a branch or hook nearby, which rules it out for open flower beds and borders where there's nothing to hang it from.
This feeder solves that by planting straight into the ground on its own metal stake, shaped like an oversized coneflower with a wire mesh seed basket sitting where the bloom's center would be. It works as garden sculpture on its own and fills the same role as a hanging feeder anywhere you don't have a branch to use.
Key Features & Benefits
- Ground stake design → Pushes directly into flower beds, borders, or lawn areas, so you're not limited to spots with an overhead branch or hook.
- Wire mesh seed basket → Holds seed, nuts, or suet-style feed visibly, letting birds like chickadees perch and peck through the mesh from any side.
- Sculptural petal skirt → The flared metal petals around the basket read as garden art even from a distance, doubling as a decorative stake when seed runs low.
- Hinged mesh lid → Opens for refilling without removing the whole unit from the ground.
- Weatherproof metal construction → Built from wire and metal components designed to stay outdoors through repeated sun and rain exposure.
- 78 cm height with 18 cm width → Tall enough to sit above surrounding plants in a bed while keeping a stable footprint at the base.

Why Garden Owners Choose This Feeder
Flower beds and open borders rarely have a branch positioned at the right height for a hanging feeder, which usually means either running a separate shepherd's hook or skipping feeding in that part of the garden entirely. A stake feeder solves both problems at once, planting directly into open soil while contributing its own sculptural shape to the bed. The wire mesh basket also lets feed stay visible and ventilated, which helps it dry out faster than fully enclosed feeders after rain.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this feeder need a tree or hook to hang from?
No. It's a ground stake design that pushes directly into soil, so it works in flower beds and open garden areas without needing a branch or bracket.
What kind of feed can I use in the mesh basket?
The wire mesh basket is suited to whole seed, nut mixes, and suet-style feed, which birds can perch on the petal rim to reach.
How do I refill the feeder?
The lid on the mesh basket hinges open for refilling, without needing to pull the stake out of the ground.
What colors is this feeder available in?
It's available in red and blue, both with the same coneflower petal design.
Care Note
Push the stake into firm soil rather than loose mulch alone, and check the mesh basket periodically for wet, clumped seed that can encourage mold if left too long between refills.
