About this deal
However, using supports of some kind for herbaceous peonies can potentially help you avoid disappointment later in the growing season, and prolong the duration for which you can enjoy the beautiful peony blooms. Support Options To Consider
Natural materials like stakes and string or materials like corten steel tend are my go-to materials for unobtrusive but effective supports.” The most sustainable and eco-friendly solutions are those using natural or reclaimed materials, which you may already have lying around. If you're interested in a bit of DIY, head to our piece on how to make your own plant supports, but if you don't have the time, and you like the trend for metal rusty peony supports, then below is our list of our favourite peony supports. These fluted supports allow peony clumps to develop and sit more naturally, catering to their growth and form. The cone-shape of our peony plant supports allows your peonies to stand proud and show off their glorious blooms.
25" Peony Support - Heavy Duty
Supports may not always be essential, and you may be able to get away without them if you are growing shorter cultivars or are growing them in a particularly sheltered spot. Available in two sizes and made from solid high quality galvanised solid steel with a Sage Green UV stabilised coating or Natural Rust finish
As the peony begins to emerge in the spring sunshine, push the three-legged cone well into the soil to provide ‘all-round’ protection from wind and rain. Every true gardener knows, peonies love the sun and hate too much water. The problem with staking is that you may need rather a lot of them to support all the stems in larger clumps, or where a large number of peonies are grown.The cone-shaped supports are manufactured from 6mm solid steel wire and they are also ideal for Daisies, verbascum etc.
