Twelve ornamental dragonflies with detailed 3D wings and layered coloring, each pre-attached to a pole and clip so nothing needs assembling. You clip them to plant stems, planter rims, fence tops, or trellises and they appear to hover, which is the effect people react to. Construction is PVC with rust-resistant stainless steel, so rain and sun do not fade or corrode them across a season. They are light enough that clipping to a soft stem does not bend it. Beyond the garden, they clip to hat brims, backpacks, and pet collars, which is where a lot of the whimsy comes from. Best fit: garden decorating, patio containers, and small gifts for plant people.

Pros

  • Detailed 3D wings and layered color read as convincingly real from a short distance
  • Pre-attached to pole and clip, so there is genuinely no assembly
  • PVC and rust-resistant stainless steel hold up to rain, sun, and wind across a season
  • Twelve in a pack, enough to spread across several planters or gift a few away

Cons

  • They are a decorative accent rather than a pest deterrent, so do not expect them to keep anything away from your plants

Frequently asked questions

How many come in a set?

Twelve, each with its own pole and clip already attached.

Will they survive being left outside?

They are made from PVC with rust-resistant stainless steel and built for rain, sun, and wind. Bringing them in over winter will extend their life, but a season outdoors is what they are designed for.

Do they need assembly?

No. Each dragonfly arrives pre-attached to its pole and clip, so you clip them where you want them straight out of the box.

Do they keep pests away from plants?

No. They are purely decorative. Any suggestion that a realistic insect ornament deters pests is not something to count on.

What can I clip them to besides plants?

Planter rims, fence tops, and trellises outdoors, and also hat brims, clothing, backpacks, and pet collars, which is a common use given how light they are.
