My Garden Borders Look Empty by September, but These Solar Firework Lights Fill Gaps With an Enchanting Spectacle – They're in the Wayfair Labor Day Sale
Perfect for brightening up the fall garden landscape
September in the garden can be a bit of a mixed bag. While many late-summer blooms and early-fall flowers are providing color, other areas of your planting may look bare, brown, and weathered. But I have the perfect solution – fill gaps with decorative solar lights.
This garden lighting idea is perfect for the seasonal limbo between summer and fall, filling borders with a beautiful spectacle that keeps the garden alive after the sun goes down. It's these Wayfair firework solar lights that gave me this idea because they're elegant and unobtrusive, not simply a novelty you'll quickly tire of. I love the fact that the lights have eight different modes, so you can use them to set the tone for your late-summer backyard gatherings.
The fact that the lights are solar-powered makes them low-maintenance, turning on automatically once light levels drop and putting on an enchanting firework-like display. Those who have already bought them describe them as, 'So fun! Very well made. Easy to put together and set up to work their magic!' The best part is this set is currently on an incredible deal in the Labor Day sale – 41% off at just $37.96.
This set of six solar lights creates a beautiful firework display. They each have a stake to easily insert into the ground and a solar panel to charge it. The wires are malleable so you can create any desired shape. The lights have eight different modes to choose from, creating a soft glow in your garden.
Why Shoppers Love Them
If you're looking for a quick fix to brighten up your fall garden borders after summer blooms fade, the Wayfair firework solar lights are a great option. With a pointed stake, simply insert the lights into your soil and ensure the solar panel has sunlight exposure.
'Good quality. Easy directions,' one person says about setting them up. 'Highly recommend! These work exactly as described,' another five-star reviewer writes.
A bonus is they work well for holiday decor. From Fourth of July in summer to Christmas in winter, these solar lights are sure to add some whimsy to your garden.
'You can use the solar lights year round for your walkway or your garage door. I used my light as a path way. Very glamorous,' one shopper suggests.
'Love the lights. They move and twinkle. My neighbor's daughter watched them from her bedroom window,' another person shares.
A bonus shopper's note is that the lights can be used to keep deer away from your yard, similar to how an ultrasonic repellent with flashing lights works (like this from Amazon).
'I bought them to keep the deer away in my garden, and so far it has worked.'
'I use this in my back yard to keep the wildlife from eating my garden, fruit bushes and tender trees.'
The beauty of the lights having eight different modes gives you flexibility. Set them still to light a path, choose flashing to deter wildlife, or opt for twinkling for a calming soft glow.
Though there does seem to be one downside reviewers share, specifically about how delicate the wire is.
'It takes a little bit of time to establish the shape desired. If they are placed in a windy location, the shape is significantly altered at times,' one person describes.
'They got tangled very easily. The wire is very lightweight,' another reviewer writes.
Perhaps a more rigid design would eradicate this problem, but the wire does give the lights a delicate feel and allows for customization.
While you might expect higher quality for the full price of $64.52, the current Labor Day discount of six lights for $37.96 is a great deal to jump on to keep your garden lit up all fall and winter with a little magic.
