Solar Light Pots

I got this idea from HGTV's website or some garden website, can't remember which one. They used a old broken solar light to put in a container pot to give some plants added height to make the container look bigger without being bigger. I used the same idea but I added it to the flower bed.

Normal looking solar lights


Take the inside lights and top off.




Add a little bit of gravel for drainage


Next I spaced the light fixtures out and pushed them in the ground.


Then add some soil to the light. Now it is becoming a small flower planter.


Now you can see the solar light fixtures and during the growing months you will see some purple Iris growing in the flower bed and then maybe some red or another color growing from the solar lights. Or add something like Crepping Jenny and have lime green/green growing down from the fixtures.
