Fountain with patio essentials on table with text

Outdoor dining is so relaxing and enjoyable…until you start battling mosquitos that can make life miserable. You may have tried out a citronella candle as one of your patio essentials, which can help keep the bugs away, but they often detract from your decor. You shouldn’t have to choose between a pretty outdoor table setting and a peaceful one.

Not anymore. Patio Essentials offers citronella products, from candles to torches to even a water fountain, that will not only help keep the bugs away, but will add to the ambiance of your outdoor living space and make it an inviting place to be. We’ve rounded up our 10 favorite Patio Essentials products that will look beautiful in three different types of cottage gardens.

 

Patio Essentials Garden #1: Cozy Cottage

This giant farmhouse candle would look chic as part of your cottage garden decor, or even on the porch steps leading up to the house for a party or family dinner. 80oz. Giant Farmhouse Bucket Citronella Candle, $39.99.

Black convertible torch from Patio Essentials on tabletop

Plus, it has citronella-scented torch fuel to help keep the bugs at bay. Black 4-in-1 Convertible Torch, $21.99.

Set of three candles in gray, white and red

Another gorgeous three-pack of citronella candles from Patio Essentials, this set is perfect for a beach cottage because of the textured sea salt finish on the candles!
