Staking and support

Before they flop.

3 min read

Tall flowers like dahlias, peonies and delphiniums can bend or snap in wind and rain.

How

  • Put supports in early, before plants get tall
  • Use stakes, hoops or grids
  • Tie stems loosely with soft twine
  • Netting stretched over a cutting bed keeps stems straight
